[Chilli] status none

[Loic SOULAS]

Hi Alexander

thanks for your help,
even if there is bad wifi reception, is it normal that the client still gets the none status in return when he tries to reconnect,
because when we do chilli_query logout <mac address> and retry to connect the client it succeeds.

regards
Loïc

Usually in our setup this is due to bad wifi reception, packets lost on the way from the access point to our central chilli controler etc.  We're not 100  % sure though if other reasons exist and we have reason to assue that sometimes, if our chilli controller runs havoc, none users exist.
