It's really a design flaw. Instead of saying every two minutes "Hey I couldn't find a new AP". It should only say "I found AP number 99 and connected to it" if and when it does. On Wed, Apr 13, 2016 at 3:47 PM, rustyhamsterr wrote: > I'm also affected, as my house

I'm not Anne and I don't fully remember this bug. I believe it was about Linux looking for new WiFi routers to connect to every 2 minutes and issuing a message when one was not found. This given there should be an option within Ubuntu Network Manager (or whomever) to not message every 2 minutes

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1323089] Re: wpa_supplicant writes to syslog every 2 minutes

Indeed under this free roaming philosophy even if another WiFi node is found it should not be connected to unless the signal strength is hire. Then and only then when connected a message should be sent. Sending a message on success is infinitely preferable to a message of failure to a connection

Thank you Anne for describing what looks like one way to fix this for all connections, rather than the easy fix in #24 which only addresses one SSID. But I worry that making wpa_supplicant more quiet will hide messages that are important - what else would be suppressed? So I suspect that the bug

I disagree with the duplicate link to 578431. That bug is just about wifi components spamming to Syslog. This bug covers a situation where people's WiFi connections are being repeatedly dropped (to the point of unusability) due to issues in the wifi stack. The logging captures the drops.
