This sounds really strange.. external_auth is used only for SAE, but P2P
does not use SAE. There is something quite wrong here since the external
authentication mechanism should not come into play at all when a P2P GO
goes through authentication and association.

Can you please provide a wpa_supplicant debug log from the GO showing
the details on what fails?
