In wpa_suppicant
, a network can receive a sort of temporary "blacklisting" whereby wpa_supplicant
won't try to connect to it. This happens in particular if authentication to the AP fails several times (which, since wpa_supplicant
retries, is almost certain).
These look like this in wpa_cli
:
> list_networks
network id / ssid / bssid / flags
0 Example any [TEMP-DISABLED]
Where Example
is the SSID of the network.
Is it possible to indicate to wpa_supplicant
that the problem has been corrected, and that it can attempt to re-authenticate? (None of enable_network
, reassociate
or reconnect
work.)
(Restarting wpa_supplicant
works, but I was wondering if there was a "gentler" method. Judging by the logs, it looks like it backs off, and the upper bound is a whopping 20 minutes, which is a long time between retries.)
