WPA_Supplicant re-authentication

[Arran Cudbard-Bell]

Hi All,

I know this isn't strictly a FreeRADIUS issue but many of the users of 
the list are involved in academia and so may have come across this with 
their linux users.

wpa_Supplicant appears to work fine on wireless networks, but on wired 
networks it attempts to re-authenticate every 30 seconds..

I can't find the root cause for this; packet traces show no EAPOL 
activity prior to re-authentication and the supplicant itself reveals 
nothing in it's output or logs.

The only possible explanation I can think of, is the out-of-order 
EAP-Notification packet the ProCurve NAS sends after the EAP-Success 
packet. Could this confuse the supplicant into thinking the session was 
ongoing, and then time out after 30 seconds and restart the 
authentication process ? It certainly breaks the EAP Spec..

It anyone else experiencing this with different NAS?

Thanks,
Arran
