<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am using wpa_supplicant-0.5.9. supplicant
is successfull in associating, but it gets disconnected after some time. This
connect/disconnect repeats after some time interval. My AP ssid
broadcast is disabled. Can any one tell me reason for this behavior of
wpa_supplicant?</FONT></DIV>
