User could be initiating scan for it to get connected back to network so there will never be a 2 minute expiry. 2. WAN detachment was just an example, it could very well be an intermittent problem which does not require any intervention from user and problem auto-corrects itself. 3. Expecting user to connect manually is not an option all the time. User rely on their devices to get connected on their own so that they can control these devices from anywhere. 4. I tested multiple devices in the same environment and each and every device auto-connected on its own once the problem vansihes. This seems to me as a use case that we have not considered and it surely requires some fix in the connman. > > Cheers, > > Patrik > > _______________________________________________ > connman mailing list > connman@connman.net > https://lists.connman.net/mailman/listinfo/connman > _______________________________________________ connman mailing list connman@connman.net https://lists.connman.net/mailman/listinfo/connman
