When I'm a bit far from my access point I noticed that ifplugd (which
I use on my wlan0 interface) starts the dhcp client before
wpa-supplicant has finished setting up the network connection.
More specifically, I see the following wpa_cli status:
bssid=aa:xx:yy:zz:ww:qq
ssid=foo-bar
id=12
pairwise_cipher=CCMP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA2/IEEE 802.1X/EAP
wpa_state=ASSOCIATED
Supplicant PAE state=AUTHENTICATING
suppPortStatus=Unauthorized
EAP state=IDLE
while my dhclient is already launched by ifplugd and trying to get an
IP address. Is that normal?
