Jouni, how should the supplicant handle a WEXT assoc event for the AP that's already associated with? That seems to be what's going on here; the card is coming back from a scan and emitting an assoc event (not sure why) and that's making the supplicant (wrongly IMHO) try to reauth at the EAP level for some reason.
