I have never seen this kind of behavior. Could you please give some more
details of your configuration? Do you run WPC11 as a station or AP or
both? If not both, what is the other AP/STA? Does this happen every time
you are using channels 1..4? If you are using Host AP driver as a
station, how long does it take to authenticate and associate again when
forcing this with 'iwpriv wlan0 reset 2' in the station?
