Networks that fail to connect do get temporarily blacklisted in two different mechanism, but neither of those actually removes the network profile from configuration. In other words, something outside wpa_supplicant is needed to do what you described here. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
