Using debian distros for a few years. All distros from the last few years seem to share a wierd wpa_supplicant issue. Has anyone else attempted to solve/understand this issue during sleep/resume?

When system goes to sleep, upon resuming wpa_supplicant stops working. Tried the following to get wpa_supplicant to allow connection to networks....

# service wicd stop

# wpa_action wlan0 reload

sudo dhcpcd --release wlan0

sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid off

#sudo iwconfig wlan0 ap off

#service network-manager stop

#service networking stop

# ifconfig wlan0 down

#ip link set wlan0 down

#rfkill unblock all

service network-manager status | grep 'active'

no network connections active


Then restart EVERYTHING -> still wpa_supplicant reports "error bad password" via nmcli and/or wicd
restart computer -> everything works again !
What causes this wpa_supplicant error? What else interacts with wpa_supplicant establishing connections - that was not listed above?

    Never seen any of that, but all workstations are running Fedora, CentOS or RHEL. So... Add `-dd` to its command line options to get lots of extra debugging output, reproduce the fault, and check what gets logged. – Michael Hampton Jul 10 '20 at 00:20
