[Bug 548992] Re: Wireless connection frequently drops [deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)]

[Marc Reichelt]

Maybe we are looking at the wrong software here. Could it be that this
is a problem of wpa_supplicant instead? I attached the specific part of
my syslog when the deauthentication occurs. For the first 6 lines
everything's ok, though I believe the DHCP lease time of my university
network is _way_ too small. But then on line 7 wpa_supplicant tells that
it has started an authentication - which finally leads to a "wlan0:
deauthenticating from 00:26:99:50:07:dc by local choice (reason=3)" on
line 15 and the NetworkManager to reauthenticate.

It is actually funny that this bug seems to occur very often in the
'eduroam' university network - maybe the DHCP lease time is the trigger.
I also encounter this problem at home but not so frequently. I will try
to use a static IP on my university network today and write a comment on
what happened.
