wpa_supplicant: why is BSS blacklisted twice ?

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

 



Hello list,

Reading the code in wpa_supplicant.c, in function wpas_connection_failed(),
I see that a BSS may be blacklisted twice in a row.

This happens if another AP is known for the same network, resulting in the
blacklist count being directly set to 2.

So I just wonder why it is needed to blacklist twice? Anybody knows?

Context: my setup must use a very crowded channel and authentication often
fails due to dropped responses. While debugging I noticed that the
blacklist count sometimes jumps to 2 after a failure, not always, since
there are other paths to blacklist a BSS.
