42	Supplicant does not renegotiate handshake often enough	Lewis Rosenthal		"(Perhaps the summary could use some improvement.)

Symptom is this:

Client has ThinkPad T60 with Intel 3945AG card connecting to WPA2-secured WLAN. Supplicant is able to successfully negotiate 4-way handshake, and communications is established.

After some period of time (1-8 hours), the WLAN LED on the notebook begins flashing rapidly (nearly flickering). If left alone, eventually, flickering slows to slow blink. XWLAN indicates no connection. Generally, it is not possible to renegotiate connection (card stall, requiring system reboot to reload driver).

If caught in time (while light is blinking rapidly), A manual WPA Supplicant | Reconnect *usually* works to renegotiate the handshake, and return the LED to solid state, whereupon the condition will repeat itself in the next 1-8 hours.

I have reproduced this on two separate T60's with two separate cards, under different OS/2 and WPA supplicant versions, and different GenMAC driver versions for the card. The condition is consistent across all of them (eCS 2.0 RC5, RC7, 2.1, ArcaOS 5.0)."	defect	new	major		engine	3.12
