Hi Jouni,

My earlier logs were big in size. So not delivered. So I recaptured
and attaching only required logs.

AP-Problem.log

I switched off the router around the time
1456401394.205710: dbus: flush_object_timeout_handler: Timeout -
sending changed properties of object
/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/1

Around the time 1456401598.821077: wlan0: Setting scan request:
1.000000 sec I gave the scan command.

The dbus sequence I follow is,
AddNetwork
SelectNetwork
Then I wait for "completed" signal from dbus
udhcpc -iwlan0 to get IP once connected.

When there is problem connecting ie at the time of reconnect,
SelectNetwork with the object obtained as part of AddNetwork
Then I wait for "completed" signal from dbus
udhcpc -iwlan0 if connected.

I could see from the log,
1456401549.760162: Fast associate: Old scan results
After this there is continous scan requests ignored.

There are two bugs, it seems.

1) you don't have this patch:

d38c7be0f013703639568a690af0394ceece1fca
"Skip SELECT_NETWORK steps only if already connected or connecting"

which would fix the issue where SelectNetwork doesn't attempt to
associate.  Unfortunately this fix is not in a released version, not
even hostapd 2.5.

2) a supplicant SCHED_SCAN never completes.  There is only one enabled
network, and this is the first sched_scan, and apparently those are
never timed out.  Since the AP is turned off, no scan results for that
AP will ever be delivered.

Jouni, this seems like a supplicant bug?  The code is pretty clear, the
following block never gets run because ssid==NULL (because there's only
one enabled network/SSID and max_sched_scan_ssids >= 1) and this is the
first sched_scan:

At least with ath10k, I've seen cases where scan-complete is never sent
back to supplicant.  I added a timeout at that time that dealt with the issue,
not sure it would fix this problem or not.
