Re: wpa_supplicant + wpa_gui have troubles when many APs have the same name
hi, all on the same band, or on different bands? next time, do this: ifconfig -v wlan0 list scan .. when it's happening. that way I can see how many there are and what they're doing. -a On 21 November 2016 at 18:05, Yuri wrote: > On 11/21/2016 18:01, Adrian Chadd wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Is it trying to send out probe requests to ALL of those devices for some >> reason? >> >> How many APs is too many?

Hi, Is it trying to send out probe requests to ALL of those devices for some reason? How many APs is too many? Maybe I can try duplicating it. -adrian ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Have you tried adding bssid into wpa_supplicant.conf? https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?wpa_supplicant.conf%285%29 From: Yuri To: freebsd-wireless Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2016 11:35 AM Subject: wpa_supplicant + wpa_gui have troubles when many APs have the same name I use wpa_supplicant + wpa_gui and it usually works fine. However, when many APs have the same name it often fails to connect or becomes very clunky. When such network name (with many APs) is left in wpa_supplicant.conf, other networks often fail to connect until the multiple name is removed. Anybody has any insight as of what the problem might be?
