Hi, Thanks for the fast response.

It's an access point and mifi bridge (so insert a sim card and it shares your mobile data connection on the LAN). It comes as part of a solar home solutions package. MF928 is listed as the product name behind the battery. In the web UI it says it is from the EV910 product family, hardware version LR521_V1.0. I can't find info online about it. > User-space (wpa_supplicant) would retry the connect attempt so I guess you > are saying that the timing between the two auth requests is important? Yes, the error goes up to userspace which then retries. However around 15 seconds pass before the authentication request is sent again, and also as part of the retry it redoes the probe requests etc. Windows does the same but there is only a 3 second delay. I haven't checked if this device needs the authentication request resent in less than 3 seconds, or if the problem is that it needs to be sent twice in consecutive frames (i.e. without another probe request in the middle). > Is firmware not repeating at all or is the time between the two auth > requests too long?

As before, the auth request is ACKed by the AP but then the conversation halts until userspace steps in on timeout a few seconds later.
