I spent ages last night getting wireless working on an embedded ARM device. The problem is that the first time wpa_supplicant runs, it can't see any SSIDs, and doesn't get anywhere. The second time it runs, it's all fine.
My eventual solution was to create a script that runs wpa_supplicant, waits five seconds, kills it, then runs it again. So, so dirty. This issue only appears to occur with one of my three USB wifi adapters. However of the others, one isn't supported by any version of Linux, and the other one is dodgy on 3.2 kernels.. but post 3.2.x kernels don't work reliably on this hardware. Soo.. while I wait for a fourth bloody USB adapter with yet another wifi chipset in it to arrive.. does anyone have any ideas how to fix the current one? I'm guessing there's something specific the wifi adapter needs initialised before it will work, but I just don't know what..
