Auto-reconnect if link goes down #14

Closed humitos closed 8 years ago

humitos commented 8 years ago

Sometimes it happens that the link goes down for some reason. So, we want to auto-reconnect.

I'm not sure if this still happens after closing #13. Let's wait a couple of week before closing this one.

This still happens. In fact, when the link is lost we are receiving this message in syslog and we have to restart the interface :(

Restart interface:

sudo ifdown --force wlan1
sudo ifconfig wlan1 down
sudo ifup wlan1
