Fast connect after losing Link

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All
Just after losing wifi link because of an incoming deauth with reason
code 6 or 7, wpa_supplicant sets the fast_reconnect and
fast_reconnect_ssid to current bss and current ssid.

Later on  if fast_reconnect is not NULL it tries to connect to same
SSID. This makes sense for some devices which does not use connman.
Devices using wpa_supplicant with connman this connect is not useful
at all as connman when it gets notified of this disconnect would
disable the network that would end up causing a locally generated
deauth and would nullify this connection attempt.

In stead of having this feature turned on all the time, it would be
good to have a configuration from connman. Initialized value of this
configuration would be turned on meaning fast connect is enabled and
devices using connman along with wpa_supplicant would disable this
feature.

Does this make sense?

Regards
Naveen
