Hello,
I am working on a low power sensor logging project using the nRF7002dk. So far, I have updated the main loop in the wifi/sta sample and in place of the:
k_sleep(K_FOREVER);
I have added:
status = net_mgmt(NET_REQUEST_WIFI_DISCONNECT, iface, NULL, 0);status = net_if_down(iface); k_sleep(K_SECONDS(2)); // will be longer in production, shortened for testing
status = net_if_up(iface);
k_sleep(K_SECONDS(2)); // allow the interface time to come up
I also have code verifying the statuses are returned as 0, but haven't posted that here to simplify my post.
I find that after a few connections, there is a kernel panic when trying to bring the interface back up.

The kernel panics stop if I add a 1 second delay between the net_mgmt and net_if_up calls.
It appears that I can not shut down the interface immediately after disconnecting or something is not cleaned up that causes issues when bringing the interface back up. Obviously in production code, I would like to replace the delay with a check to ensure the disconnect has completed in case it takes longer than 1 second. How can I determine when it is safe to shut down the interface?
