What is this AP configured to do? Your configuration file above is for
plaintext network, but the AP is configured to start EAPOL

If the AP is configured to use plaintext mode, it is broken.. What AP
is this? Please re-test with the current development snapshot of
wpa_supplicant. It has some code for ignoring EAPOL frames in this kind
of case.

Is this code implementing wpa_driver_ar5005_* functions available
somewhere?
