Actually, that seems to indicate quite the opposite - reception of
Broadcast frames is working fine after group key handshake. Those ARP
requests are from other devices in the network and from the view point
of this specific station (MAC address ending c3:3f), those are broadcast
frames and the response should not be showing up in this type of capture
anyway. This short excerpt did not show any frames that the station
could have tried to transmit after group key handshake.

Could you please take a look at further frames following the group key
update and see whether the local station is transmitting frames and
receiving responses to them?
