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