Yes. And that's necessary because typically the driver gets a connection only after its second try.
W.r.t. the error message/crash: This only happens IF IP network is not available (I now avoid that situation by an improved systemd setup of my raspberry pi4). Otherwise there is no such crash. Thus a fix is not really mandatory, it's only recommended to improve on sane error recovery. John Smith <[email protected]> schrieb am Mi., 5.
