wpa_supplicant keeps a blacklist of BSSes in order to prevent repeated
associations to problematic APs*. Currently, this blacklist is
completely cleared whenever we successfully connect to any AP. This
causes problematic behaviour when in the presence of both a bad AP and
a good AP. The device can repeatedly attempt to roam to the bad AP
because it is clearing the blacklist every time it connects to the good
AP. This results in the connection constantly ping-ponging between the
APs, leaving the user stuck without connection.

Hello,

If you reload the station configuration in the supplicant (but not restart
the supplicant process), will the blacklisting be cleared as part of this
reload?

Thanks,
Ben
