Subject: Connect Issue to an AP having WPA2-AES authentication using a b4318 STA

Hi,


I had setup a b43xx card on the wireless testing kernel, and was
trying to connect to my AP at home, after having successfully setup
and associated at work place. But i noticed that though my passphrase
was authenticated, i was not able to connect to AP at home.

I did not have issues at work place, where it was OPEN security :).

At home i have WPA2-AES. What could be the issue?

Though i see beacon loss from AP message, my AP is active and i'am
connected to two other STA's on the same SSID.

Additional Info:

1. Running latest wireless-testing kernel

some dmesg logs are below:
