hi radek, i'm sorry for the silence.
i found the solution about this topic:
1) qtmoko doesn't kill wpa-supplicant closing wifi the first good time, this is bad!
2) because of previous point i messed too much and missconfigured my ap.. so i tried with wrong settings, ignore me: current supplicant is ok!
3) remains the problem of battery discharge when you disconnect from wifi:maybe interface doesn't go to sleep?btw i can force this by script (wifi off)

regards!
