      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      wireless-regdb package has been updated and errors were reported when P2P test were run with that (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-14247)

      wireless-regdb package were not updated from a long time and we need the new one to get the new and udpated frequencies and channels. Then, the new wireless-regdb package contains more frequencies/channels to check and scanning can take longer.

      The error is not appearing with the old wireless-regdb package.

      To reproduce I am using an adapted bash script (attached draft script script_client_connect) from:

      https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager-ci/-/blob/main/features/scenarios/wifi_hwsim.feature?ref_type=heads#L629 

      With the current status and due to retries because of the longer scanning, P2P session seems not to restart completely and is not progressing.

      This situation is solved if wpa_supplicant includes the following commit: "3242793cb P2P: Remove pending p2p-listen radio work on stopping listen"

      There is  another issue with NetworkManager that can be tracked here: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-16722

      but the connection is completely established.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      5.14.0-362.8.1.el9_3.x86_64 (latest rel-9.4 image)

      How reproducible:

      Easy with a beaker machine after several tries (max 10), but virtual machine can be used as well.

      Provided script + script_client_connect retries automatically if the test is successfully completed and stops if there is any failure.

      I have used wlan-r2s41.wlan.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com (remember to blacklist or remove iwlwifi module previously).

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Copy the two scripts to the same folder and run: ./script

                 script_client_connect script will be run infinitely until an error occurs

      Expected results

      Connection is always established

      Actual results

      Connection is not always established

        2. script_client_connect
