wpa_supplicant not connecting when AP powered off at startup

[Tilman Schoop]

Hi all,

I have seen a problem with wpasupplicant that I want to tell you.
Perhaps anyone has an idea or I have a misunderstanding/wrong configuration.

first of all:
wpa_supplicant connects when the AP is visible/powered on

the problem:
when I power on the AP when wpa_supplicant is already running, the
authentication does not succeed. in this case, when I stop
wpa_supplicant and restart it again, authentication is directly done
and network is functional.

what I want to do:
EAP/TLS authentification + TKIP with DLink DWL-122 USB WLAN adapter
(ndiswrapper), AP cisco 1100, freeradius

my wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
        ssid="myessid"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        eap=TLS
        identity="myid"
        ca_cert="/etc/certs/cacert.pem"
        private_key="/etc/certs/cert-clt.p12"
        private_key_passwd="secret"
        priority=1
}

I start wpa_supplicant with:
wpa_supplicant -dd -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ndiswrapper


Can anybody show me what I am doing wrong?

Greetings
Tilman

PS: I can provide the log files of success/no success
