Yesterday I updated my notebook (with iwm(4)) and also noticed that
wi-fi connection periodically breaks. /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant restart
wlan0 helps. After your message I reinstalled wpa_supplicant from old
source and now it works stable already about 2 hours.

So, right now, we have broken wpa_supplicant(8) in -CURRENT? :-/

Well, "broken". It's incredibly stable outside of rekeying events, and
further testing shows that I don't actually notice these disconnects
most of the time because it reassociates fast enough. I noticed it the
first time because apparently I had both SSIDs from my AP uncommented
in my wpa_supplicant.conf and it decided at that point to connect to
the other one, which took a little longer.

Contrary to Andrey's report, though, I don't have to kick
wpa_supplicant at all. It will reassociate on its own every single
time.


Hi!
I have the exact same problem as Andrey, with the same driver. I've not investigated very much, but when using the 2.8 wpa_supplicant the wifi network dies after a little while, and I have to restart it (usually with /etc/rc.d/netif restart). Then it works for a little while, before going down again. With the old wpa_supplicant I didn't have this problem.

I don't have very much else to add except noting that I'm affected as well. I haven't had time to debug it properly (which is why I've never reported it)
