wpa down and Already associated with the selected AP.

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I originally sent the following to the netbsd-users list, but no response. 
I know it is an old version of wpa_supplicant, but see my other upcoming 
email in regards about attempting to build newer version.

Note I can repeat this anytime by going to some sites in firefox. As long 
as I don't use firefox to browse, I can use SSH fine to remote locations. 
I haven't tcpdumped yet to know what type of traffic is happening that is 
related to this.

Original email:

Keep losing network connection. This is what I see:

Causing my ifconfig output to say:
        status: no carrier

This is wpa_supplicant v0.4.9
My kernel is 4.0 on i386.

My interface is:
iwi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ssid sorry nwkey *****

Also:

wpa_cli reassociate normally will bring it back up,
but may be down again in a few seconds.
Sometimes up for hours. But now gone down over 25 times.

Any ideas? What else should I provide?

Normally works fine, but now on a different network for the next week.
