I have a problem with the roaming option of wpa_supplicant on the raspberry pi. I tried to configure roaming and it works, but far from good.
My bgscan config was from and was the default. I used this parameters
bgscan="simple:30:-45:300"
I got it from this origin. I wasn't sure about the intervals.
Most of the time the pi just dont connect to another access point (even if its the only available). Sometimes it does connect to another access point, but the whole thing needs more than one minute, which is far too long for me. After many hours of trying I found another approach.
I edited the /etc/network/interfaces for the roaming config. Then I'm pinging a server every minute and if there is no answer, I execute
ifdown wlan0 && ifup wlan0
After these commands are executed the pi wont get an IP. If monitored things with wavemon and it appears, that the pi "sees" the network i want to connect to, but dont connect to it and get an IP. For now I have no ideas, what Im doing wrong or what other options are left.
Perhaps someone got the same problem or have an idea/solution for this problem.
Thanks in advance
