But the FW takes some time to know its authenticated. The flow is this: 1. hostapd sends auth complete (the FW doesn't know anything about this) 2. The STA transmits something 3. The AP FW deauths the STA 4. hostapd adds the station, causing mac80211 to call add_sta(), which causes the FW to add the sta Then we have an endless loop of sta add/remove..
