Ok, I'll drop it down to 5 seconds if that's OK with you. That's still the same amount of time as the wpa_supplicant assoc_failed auth timeout in wpa_supplicant_associate() though, so they could still step on each other. Not quite sure what to do about that except bump up the wpa_supplicant assoc_failed timeout by a few more seconds? dan -- 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
