WPA Supplicant on Bridge Disconnect event every 5 seconds

[Joel Lindsay]

Hi,

I seem to be authenticating with wpa_psk properly, but every 5 seconds it 
seems as though a control event is sent to disconnect.  I am using the 
latest version of wpa_supplicant.

The interface is on a bridge and I am starting it with

wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iath0 -bbr0 -c/wpa_supplicant.cfg

My log looks like this.
