wpa_supplicant doesn't reconnect to AP (after turning off/on AP)

[Pongsak Tawankanjanachot]

Dear Sir,
   I'm using wpa_supplicant (with Ralink chipset) to connect with Access
point (Ralink chipset).
   My security setting is WPA2 by using freeradius as a Radius server.

     wpa_supplicant.conf is
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
        ssid="TEST_AP"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
        pairwise=TKIP CCMP
        eap=PEAP
        phase1="peaplabel=0"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        identity="test"
        password="test"
}

   Firstly, the supplicant successfully connects to AP (access point)
   Then, I turn off/on the AP, wpa_supplicant tries to reauthenticate and
show debug message like: (just some part of whole messages)

    wpa_supplicant cannot reconnect to AP because of PMKSA caching??
    I've tried the supplicant with LinkSys AP, (turn off/on LinkSysAP),
wpa_supplicant works fine. It reconnects to AP.
    Or some issue at the Access point (Ralink chipset)?

    Please share your idea.

Pongsak
