If 4addr mode is already enabled, the call to enable it a second time
may fail. If this happens when roaming, it leads to deauthentication.

What is the case where 4ddr mode would have already been enabled? Does
this happen every time when there is roaming since
multi_ap_set_4addr_mode() did not have this check before? Or are you
considering cases where something external to wpa_supplicant is changing
this parameter?

In my specific case I think 4addr mode is always enabled (by the supplicant) before roaming, because I'm trying to switch from one backhaul AP to another one (which means the supplicant enables 4addr mode when connecting to the first bAP).

As Janusz pointed out, it seems the actual problem I'm facing is not the fact that 4addr mode is already enabled, but the fact that the interface is already part of the bridge (so my patch description is not accurate). No external entity changes this parameter in my case.


Thanks,

Raphaël
