I believe cards that actually support LEAP (airo, ipw) [1] do most of
the association work in firmware.  Unfortunately, that's a black box
that you can't easily see into.  wpa_supplicant (and any other stuff
that talks to the card) just sets up a bunch of values and pushes them
to the card.  The firmware then returns 'success/failure' for the
association.  You may be able to figure out if you configuration is at
fault if you enable verbose debugging for the wireless driver.

[1] I'm quite curious; do any other cards actually support LEAP?  How is
LEAP done with softmac drivers like bcm43xx?  Is it implemented at all?
