that anyone should be able to follow to determine whether this bug has
been fixed.
I've edited the description to remove this line, the rest of the testcase
should be explicit enough. I've also reuploaded including an extra fix so the
item is back in the queue and should be ready to be reviewed

Title:
dbus errors, frequent roaming and unstable connectivity
Status in wpa package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in wpa source package in Focal:
In Progress
Bug description:
* Impact
extra roaming events are been generated
* Test case
check the output of `journalctl -lu wpa_supplicant`, it shouldn't have those
warnings
dbus: wpa_dbus_property_changed: no property RoamComplete in object
/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/3
the roaming events should not be too frequent
* Regression potential
check that wifi connection keep working correctly
--------------
When using this version of wpa_supplicant with my company
WPA2-Enterprise wireless setup, I'm experiencing far too frequent
roaming events (even when not moving around) accompanied by hiccups in
connectivity. I also see these messages in the wpa_supplicant log:
dbus: wpa_dbus_property_changed: no property RoamComplete in object
/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/3
dbus: wpa_dbus_property_changed: no property RoamTime in object
/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/3
dbus: wpa_dbus_property_changed: no property SessionLength in object
/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/3
Having done a little research, at least the dbus errors seem to be
fixed by this commit upstream:
https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/wpa_supplicant/dbus/dbus_new.c?id=23d87687c2428f3b94865580b0d33e05c03e6756
So I built a version of wpa_supplicant including this particular patch
and installed on my machine. Apart from solving the dbus errors
completely, it seems to have had a positive impact on the frequent
roaming and unstable connectivity as well (I've run for a day with no
burst of roaming events at all, where they used to happen every few
minutes most of the time.)
