sta associated to ap but not connected to ap!!!

[hb-Guo]

Hello, this is my code

print("STA-{}: ".format(i+1), STAs[i].cmd('iw dev sta{}-wlan0 link'.format(i+1)))
print(f"STA{i+1} Associated to ", str(STAs[i].wintfs[0].associatedTo)[2:3])
print(f"STA{i+1} Channel ", STAs[i].wintfs[0].associatedTo.channel)
testap = APs[int(str(STAs[i].wintfs[0].associatedTo)[2:3])-1]
STAs[i].setAssociation(testap)

The first line show "STA-2: Not connected."

The second line show "STA2 Associated to ap3"

Then, there state is not same, so I try to force associated to the ap. It is in the forth line,
but it shows "sta2 is already connected!"

?????? why?

why?

There could be various reasons for this issue (e.g., NetworkManager running, etc), but I cannot provide a definitive response without a more detailed description of the problem.

Regarding association methods, they are just a framework. I recommend using wireless tools such as iw and iwconfig for more precise control and diagnostics.
