I'm having no luck getting WPA to work with two STA interfaces

So far, I've done a bunch of hacking to only scan on the one
channel that we're currently using if 1+ stations are associated,
and some other logic to not call change-channel logic unnecessarily.

Currently, I see wlan0 able to associate and authenticate with wpa_supplicant,
but sta1 (the other STA interface), won't work.  A snippet from it's supplicant
log is below.  No-encryption and WEP seems to work fine.
If anyone has any suggestions as to where I should look to debug this,
I'd welcome the pointers!

First things first: Have you tried your "idea" with mac80211_hwsim?

No, I didn't know that existed..I will look for information
on that.

Also, have you disabled the hardware crypto accelerator? Because if
you spend one second to look at ath9k's set_key code, you "will see"
why the hardware has a problem dealing with multiple keys for a
single MAC (of your AP).

Yes, I think that part is correct:

[root@a230-ath9k ~]# cat /sys/module/ath9k/parameters/nohwcrypt
1

Thanks,
Ben
