I will try a new AP to see how it behaves...
I've tested with my Android smartphone acting as an AP, without authentication,
and I'm also unable to associate!
I get from iw the following error message:
wlan0 (phy #0): failed to connect to b4:07:f9:49:cc:65, status: 1:
Unspecified failure
Complete log is here:

So, something is definitely wrong with my setup... but what?
Hope that log has some useful info for you...
This definitely looks like RF problems. Especially this:

You are send auth requests out, but not getting anything back.
Apparently you're not even getting ACKs (as pointed out by the
MAX_TX_FAILURE_EVENT_ID).
Hum. I never considered RF problems because I'm testing this module with a
Jorjin's development kit, so I was considering that Jorjin knows how to make
PCBs for RF. Also seeing that when I remove the antenna the AP signal strength
changes from -51 dBm to -73 dBm was a signal to me that the RF was OK.
Do you have a sniffer? You could try to use your TP-Link dongle with
wireshark to see if it works fine as a sniffer.
I have a text console only system. I could put tcpdump on my system, but I think
I can not monitor wireless traffic with it, or can I?
I use Kismet to monitor the air on a text-only system.
