Hi Luciano,

I applied some of the code commits that were done to wl12xx driver (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=history;f=drivers/net/wireless;hb=HEAD;pg=20 ):

2012-04-10  	Eyal Shapira 		wl12xx: increase scan timeout to 30s
2012-04-10	Eyal Shapira		wl12xx: adaptive sched scan dwell times
2012-04-10	Eyal Shapira		wl12xx: fix a memory leak of probereq template upon
2012-04-10	Eliad Peller		wl12xx: free ap keys only in ap mode
2012-04-10	Eyal Shapira		wl12xx: fix race between suspend/resume and recovery
2012-04-10	Victor Goldenshtein	wl12xx: fix station channel switch
2012-04-10	Eliad Peller		wl12xx: set do_join on BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC

After applying these changes, it got connected to WPA2-personal. Currently doing some more testing

Thanks,
Ketan

This sounds like an encryption problem.

What is the model of the AP you're using?

It could be a problem with the firmware.

Yes, AES works with 3.7.

Did you try TKIP instead of AES? Just to find out if the problem only happens with AES.

You could also try compat.  There are lots of fixes and improvements in newer versions of the driver and firmware it uses.

I'll try a newer firmware for 3.4 that I found here and let you know how it goes.
