reset_auth is called before each authentication try. So it should not destroy

This seems entirely wrong.
Is your AP not capable of/configured to do open auth and _also_ doesn't
reject the attempt? That is, the AP is just completely broken?
Well, I see that with other (binary) drivers it actively rejects such
authentication attempts. But with this driver it doesnt. The only difference
that I can see from the packet logs is that mac80211 sends no probes before the
authentication, and that the sequence number is being reset. So maybe that keeps
this Netgear AP (yes it's crap) from rejecting. Or then it's something in ath9k
that causes the AP not to receive the packets in the first place.
