This can happen when you remove wireless device driver using modprobe -r i.e: modprobe -r rt2800usb modprobe rt2800pci This problem is fixed in current version of wpa_supplicant or maybe in kernel. > Does anyone have a hint to make it work ? "systemctl restart wpa_supplicant.service" recovers from bad state. Stanislaw
