Package: wpasupplicant Version: 2:2.10-24 Severity: normal I use wpa_supplicant to handle 802.1X EAP-TLS authentication on wired networks. Though it works perfectly at boot time, wpa_supplicant does not reauthenticate after a brief network interruption e.g. an unplug and reconnect of the network cable or a reboot of the network switch, causing the network switch to block the port.
Is there some configuration option for wpa_supplicant to reauthenticate? My solution (for now) is to add a "watcher" script, started as a systemd service, to do "wpa_cli reassociate" whenever the state of the network cable changes.
