Re: Client reboots, can't reconnect for 5-8 minutes?

One other bit of data about this issue.

If I kill, and restart hostapd, the tablet connects immediately. So, it's like there's some internal timeout that has to expire before a reconnect can happen.

Hey guys,

This is something that I'm observing, and I'm hoping it's been seen before, and there's a simple solution.

I have hostap setup and running, with freeradius. I connect to the server with an android tablet.

The 1st connection after a fresh reboot of the server, and the tablet connects IMMEDIATELY, and works fine. If I reboot the tablet, it can't connect to the server for a period of time. (Most recent tests were 5, and 8 minutes). After this time has elapsed, it connects quickly, and works fine. I assumed it was a long inactivity timeout being set, and hostap was assuming that the tablet was still connected, and refusing to allow it to connect again. So, I added ap_max_inactivity=30. Figuring it takes 45 seconds for the tablet to reboot, the records should be clean when it go around to trying to reconnect.

THIS DIDN'T SOLVE IT.

So, I must be missing something.  Any help?
