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

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

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

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: [Touch-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

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

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

@Olivier @Anders: I have a dual-band wireless router with where the 5ghz and 2.5ghz radios have both different SSID and diferent BSSID. So the constant scans are not triggered by multiple APs with the same SSID in every case. Pinning the BSSID stopped the scans, so many thanks to ricklee518.

I have connectivity issues with this problem. The only reason I noticed the connectivity issue is because my work VPN disconnects. Otherwise I wouldn't have noticed. So I guess that this is a loss of only a few packets which TCP will definitely recover for most applications. Pinning the BSSID

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.

Well, bug 57843 does not describe symptoms besides spamming of the syslog. This bug does describe spamming of syslog and perhaps connectivity issues for some users. However, the the upstream bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539915 you mention NoOp seems to be similar to this
