I've setup my Linuc PC as a sniffer and yes I see a lot of of authentication 
frames on the air when I try to associate with my open AP (Android phone).

I've repeated the process with a TP-Link dongle and I see a clean 802.11 
association sequence.

What I found strange is that I don't see "probe request" frames on the wl12xx 
captured frames, it starts directly with an "authentication" frame, when with the 
TP-Link dongle (ath9k_htc driver) the first frame sent by is a "probe request"!

I can provide the Wirehsark capture files. What is the best way to send them 
through the mailing list?

Best regards,
José Gonçalves
