Nothing in here seems particularly bad.  So whatever the problem is,
I don't think it can be diagnosed from these messages alone.

I went back to the email thread, and it seems that the problem is that
you're trying to run the card in AP mode but no traffic is making it
through?  Is AP association working at all, or is that failing too?
