i am using a vpn secured connection at my university and my wlan at home is wpa secured.

now if i use modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) it only lasts a few minutes until the connection times out.
if i use wireless tools, there is no timeout in hours.

versions:

Code:

net-misc/vpnc-0.3.3-r1
net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.5.1
sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre16-r1
net-wireless/wireless-tools-28_pre14


so what could cause the timeout?

try putting ap_scan=0 instead of 1. Maybe it'll help.
