Are you using CCMP or TKIP as the encryption algorithm?

Please read the comments about ap_scan=2 mode in the example
wpa_supplicant.conf file. This mode requires that the encryption
parameters (e.g., pairwise_cipher) are set explicitly whereas your
configuration file is allowing all cipher suites and is likely to cause
problems if you do not happen to use the most secure one.
