I believe I found another thing to be aware of relating to this.
My logic has been to do supplicant, then do DHCP, and only when DHCP
responds do I set up the networking for the wifi station.
It is at this time that I would be creating a VRF (or using routing rules
if not using VRF).
But, when I add the station to the newly created vrf, then it bounces it,
and that causes supplicant to have to re-associate (I think, lots of
moving
pieces, so I could be missing something).
Any chance you could just clear the neighbor entries and routes w/out
bouncing
the interface?
yes, it is annoying. I have been meaning to fix that, but never found
the motivation to do it. If you have the time, it would be worth
avoiding the overhead.
I changed my code so that it adds to the vrf first, so I too am lacking
motivation and time to dig into the kernel at the moment. I'll let you know
if I find time to work on it.
Thanks,
Ben
