Do you think my problem is a wpa_supplicant > issue, a kernel issue, or a Dist issue? I'd say it's a wpa_s issue, but I can't remember any time that it didn't reconnect after getting disconnected, so maybe there's an issue with your driver/device that causes it to need a reset or something ... hard to tell more without at least the supplicant log. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
