WPA2-PEAP problems

[Harshal Chhaya]

Ed,

In my particular case, my clients get disconnected and re-try after
waiting a bit. I haven't tried using a wrong password but I can see
why the behavior would be same - this problem occurs before the
password is checked.

Try setting 'eap_version' to 1 (instead of 2) and 'wmm_enabled' to 0
(the default is 1) since that seems to help in some cases (not in my
case though).

Regards,
- Harshal
