Re: Applet keeps connected always

[fean <fean8502 yahoo com>]

Thanks. Looks like it involves distributions (maybe NM version)
It doesn't work on FC9. But works on Ubuntu 8.04 .
At least, I know the it is right to use wireless_send_event() to fit NM's design.

Appreciate your help.

wireless_send_event() for IWAP with all zeros is the correct method.
This will cause the supplicant to disconnect and attempt to re-connect,
and if that fails for long enough, NM will disconnect as well.  Can you
use wpa_supplicant manually and provide some logs showing the disconnect
behavior?  Basically, if wpa_supplicant doesn't know about the
disconnection, neither will NM.
