Which I guess is not a huge surprise.
Side note: I've done the "turn off wifi and turn it back on" several
times to test that patch, and it has worked every time. BUT I also see
this odd behavior where the logs show that it tries to authenticate
twice: the first time it does that "send auth to 20:9f .." thing three
times (looks like 100ms apart), and nothing happens so it does
"authentication with 20:9f .. timed out". Then it waits three seconds
and tries again, and now it succeeds on the first try.
The only downside of that seems to be that it takes an extra 3s to
connect to the network - but it does now seem to *reliably* connect -
so it's not a big problem, but I wonder why it should be that
repeatable. Is there some difference between the first and the second
time it tries to authenticate?
Anyway, even if people don't like that particular patch, it does seem
like *something* like that should be done.
