Reply to Change of wifi password requires reboot on Wed, 29 Apr 2020 11:09:01 GMT

After many trials and errors with setting up the WIFI client, I realized that after changing the WIFI password, it is required to reboot the module.

It is not enough that the driver is restarting.

Could I be missing an action, or is there a workaround or fix?

I would like to avoid rebooting the system after changing WiFI passwords.

Steps to reproduce:

Start with a fresh onion
firstboot -y && sync && reboot
setup bad password
wifisetup add -ssid TP-LINK_46EB -encr psk2 -password
wait for driver to restart
check network, no IP assigned (as expected)
ifconfig
setup good password
wifisetup remove -ssid TP-LINK_46EB
wifisetup add -ssid TP-LINK_46EB -encr psk2 -password
wait for driver to restart
check network, expected IP assigned, but found NONE
ifconfig
try to restart all of network
/etc/init.d/network restart
check network, expected IP assigned, but found NONE
ifconfig
reboot system
reboot
check network, IP assigned as expected
