wpa_supplicant WPA_PSK: not working with Value Point AP --HELP

[Jungle Cui]

Hi, Jouni,
 
1): We have verified that this AP can be accessed via WPA-PSK settings from
many windows clients running Windows XP + SP2
 
2): While wpa_supplicant is running, we repeatedly use ifconfig and notice that
there are a lot of dropping packets for RX. ( 10+ for every 10 seconds)
 
3): We suspect that after association, Value Point AP may sends some frames
that are in certain formats or with certain types of encryption that the client side
can not understand and then drops them. While Windows WiFi client software
may be more fault tolerant and therefore can still manage to have the authentication
process through. Not sure this is possible or not.
 
4): We will get sniffer trace and send to you.
 
Regards,

The debug log shows number of association events, but no EAPOL frames
from the access point. Have you tested this AP with another client?
Would you be able to use a wireless sniffer to capture the packets sent
between the AP and the client using wpa_supplicant?
