Hello,
I am using Fedora 7 with a kernel (modified) based off of Fedora 2.6.23.15-80, madwifi drivers, and NetworkManager 0.6.6. The scenario is thus: 1. WPA-PSK/TKIP connection established to SSID1 2. Numerous Supplicant state changed: 0 then 1, over and over again. (I assume this is connection yo-yoing). 3. Eventually the connection times out. (ath0: link timed out.) 4. SWITCH: found better connection SSID1 (for the same connection that was just lost) 5. DHCPRELEASE on the connection is started 6. Activation started 7. During Stage 2 configure a DHCP daemon state is now 14 event is received. 8. real_act_stage2_config() : couldn't connect to the supplicant. 9. Device deactivated I have repeated this a few times now. I suspect that the normal exit event from DHCP is scheduling a failure during the activation of the new connection which somehow kills wpa_supplicant. Am I even close on this one? Below is the messages log I saw.
