Hey, I finally just figured out why there is no 802.11 "pre-association" feature for normal WPA2-PSK, even though this exists if you're using "WPA2 Enterprise" aka EAP.

It's because the latter might take a long time and so it's worth doing in advance.  WPA2-PSK takes about 20ms, so nobody cares.  (It takes several seconds to scan all the channels to see who you want to associate with, though.)

I'm CEO at Tailscale, where we make network problems disappear.
