Hi,
Reporting back after a few days with the patch. The connect and switching
between accesspoints work but there are still a few down/up events, about
once every two hours but that may have somthing to do with the dhcp cleint.
At the moment, the number of lease renewals match the number of link
down/up events. I leave this to the clever folks. When running from the em
interface, I do not see any down/up at all and thet net uses the same DCHP
server etc.
iwi0: link state changed to DOWN
iwi0: link state changed to UP

No idea, but a bit more stress testing did reveal a similar problem
here. After I associated with the AP w/ hidden SSID I changed the
channel via webinterface. The disconnect resulted in the exact problem
you were having. Only stopping and restarting wpa_supplicant fixed the
issue and I got associated on the new channel. Not sure what happens
there yet, but something seems to get stuck in an undefined state.
Could you try the attached - untested - patch? It seems - from looking
at the linux driver - that we have to remind the firmware of the ESSID
before doing a directed scan. That explains why it would sometimes work
(whenever we are coming straight from iwi_config) and sometimes not.
Let me know if that improves things for you. Thanks.
