the scanning comes into play since it triggers the initial
disassociation. You can do that manually by killing wpa_supplicant and
get the same effect.

I will try to get you the detailed logs. I am not at home right now, but
hopefully my travel access points lets me reproduce it. However I do
have seen the same thing with an AP not using any security at all.

Like 2-5 seconds. Not more.

It is an AVM Fritz!Box 7270 with their latest firmware. Could the
enabled WPS mess things up here?

Will try to get you all the details needed. Funny part here is that the
problems stated with my 5350 card. The old 4965 in my X61 used to work
perfectly fine with the exact same access point.
