Hi,
I am using a Komikan (8devices) as a client, with a configured SSID to look for.
- If I boot the device in range of the Access Point, it connects immediately
- If I boot out of range and bring the device into range, it will never connect, with the wpa_cli messages shown below
- If I do /etc/init.d/network restart, (or 'wifi' restart) once in range of the AP it will happily connect.
I would like to make sure the device automatically connects every time it sees the correct SSID. Can you help?

- Interestingly, if I boot out of range, bring into range (get errors logged), bring out of range and restart networking, then when I bring into range it will connect successfully
- However if I boot out of range and restart networking immediately, and then bring into range it will NOT connect automatically.
Hardware:
Komikan with RTL8822BEH wifi chip.
This problem is replicable accross lots of different AP hardware, so I would say the issue is likely with rtl8822 driver or firmware.
I see this on boot, but there doesn't appear (to me) anything out of ordinary:
(From line [ 24.350000] onwards also appears every time wifi interface is restarted)
