Looks right to me...

Actually, I was just investigating a similar problem yesterday. When I
start wpa_supplicant [1] and it associates with a non-encrypted AP it
seems to drop the connection almost immediately. If I issue a 'wpa_cli
reassociate' it re-associates and the connection is not dropped again.

The relevant section of my wpa_supplicant.conf file looks as follows:

        ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
        ctrl_interface_group=wheel
        eapol_version=1
        ap_scan=1
        
        network={
                ssid="Wireless"
                key_mgmt=NONE
                priority=0
        }

I've tested this with wpa_supplicant-0.2.6 and 0.3.4 (both with and
without your proposed patch). The problem occurs with both versions.

The debug output from wpa_supplicant is attached to this mail in hope
that someone might be able to spot the problem.

Sincerely,
Brix
