    initial v1

    13I have the same hw and same problem, this is what i experience:
    241) Trying to join to a WLAN
    3 2) Password window pops up
     52) credentials window pops up
    463) I fill the password and tick the save password box, then try to connect
    574) Sometimes it work, in this case no other steps necessary.
    685) If it doesn't works for the first try, the password window pops up again, password already prefilled
    796) I press connect again
    8 7) Password window pops up again after a while
     107) credentials window pops up again after a while
    9118) If i open the Network preflet, i see no networks in the WLAN SSID lists, as like the network card became deaf
    10129) I disable the card and re-enable it in the network preflet
    111310) SSIDs shows up in the list again
    121411) Start the process over from point 5
     15}}}

    14 So what i see is: the password box pops up, even if the network card became deaf. It just repeatedly pops up. No other sign of complete lost of the networking ability (=deaf), just the empty SSID list. I assume not everybody notices this, and just gets annoyed it doesn't connect.

    1620But if the password once saved and while the SSID's visible in the list the password window pops sometimes still up. In this case pressing Cancel in the password window results a successful connection establishment. I use this trick daily. Hope it will help.

    1822So i think this phenomen is a result of 2 or more bug:
    19 - WLAN card loses ability to see the networks (=deaf, seeing no WLANs), wpa_supplicant can't handle this and trying to asking for password for an unavailable network because the lost connectivity ability of the wlan card. This should not happen, but if the tried network goes missing Haiku maybe could try to reset the card automatically (disable/enable)
    20 - Even if the card sees the SSID's, the connection establishment is somehow unsuccessful, and it asks repeatedly for password, i don't know why it is happening. Maybe the network_server can't acquire the DHCP settings and timeouts, but i am unsure.

    2230This happens for me with wpa_supplicant 2.7 and 2.9 too. Hope it gives some hints.

    24 So @WildKecak, please test this: make sure the networks still listed in the network preflet (or with the network replicant) while the password popup visible and try to press cancel in the password window. (unsure about the button text, but it is on the left side of the window)
