Thanks for responding. 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.


I am wpa_supplicant stupid. I'll investigate and see if I can provide more info. I have 4 of these devices scattered about the house on Linux boxes. They all do the same thing. I also have 3 TV's and a windows laptop my wife uses that all connect properly to it's closest AP. As you can see this is a project to make the whole house wireless.

Also, personally I'm more concerned as to why the Linux boxes don't just pick the closest AP to begin with. If it did, and it actually has, it never disconnects and will be reliable until a reboot.

Thanks
Mark
