I've sent the below mail quite some time ago to Larry Finger and Chaoming Li,
but am now unsure if it has actually arrived. Also, I thought maybe I'm not
getting a response because of the fact I didn't CC the mailing list (which I
didn't because of the attachment; I thought that would be frowned upon).
Now, I don't want to come across as impatient, but it would mean a lot to me if
the source of the problem were to be found.
My sincerest apologies if attachments don't belong on the mailing list, and/or
if this message is a duplicate!

Dear Sir:
Yes, sniffer can help, Could you help to catch the authentication
and association packet and send it to me。
Best Regards，

Find below the output of wpa_supplicant with the -ddd switch. If that is
not the information you required (ie: you need even rawer logging or
somesuch), please tell me what I need to do, or where I might find the
information to do what I need to do.
So I got some help on how to sniff the association process. Please find
attached a dump of said process.
Sorry to not answer earlier. I was busy and I also hoped that Chaoming would
handle this part.
I did a dump of the authentication and association process with my RTL8191SE and
my AP. For both systems, the authentication packets are identical, as are the
association request and response. The capability flags are identical.
This is where the two sequences differ: My AP sends an action frame with

This packet is followed by a Block Ack in both directions and then the EAPOL 1/4
is sent.
I'm not familiar enough to know the significance of these differences, but I'm
guessing that they may be the source of your problem.
I have to go now, but if no one describes what we are seeing, I'll review the
802.11n specs and get back to you tomorrow.
