Hi Ben,
How do you re-confirm them? There are definitely cases where SSID/Security is the same but each
AP has its own DHCP server and roaming between them will require getting a new DHCP address (on
the same (NAT'd) subnet and with same gateway, likely as not).
Using DHCPREQUEST to verify obtained parameters, or the DHCPv6 equivalent Confirm message. This obviously requires some integration between the dhcp daemon and
the supplicant.
Do you want to allow the just-now-roamed station to use its old IP address(es) while you are
confirming?
If not, how is this different from just re-doing DHCP like normal?
And if so, you will in some cases be allowing duplicate IP addresses on
a network?
Thanks,
Ben
