so I have installed the latest wireless-testing kernel now.

CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 
Trying to authenticate with 00:1f:f3:fa:58:59 (SSID='HON Circle' freq=2452 MHz)
Trying to associate with 00:1f:f3:fa:58:59 (SSID='HON Circle' freq=2452 MHz)
Could not read SSID from driver.
WPA: No SSID info found (msg 1 of 4).
Associated with 00:1f:f3:fa:58:59
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:1f:f3:fa:58:59 [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:1f:f3:fa:58:59 completed (auth) [id=1 id_str=]

<starting dhclient wlan0 now>

CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
l2_packet_receive - recvfrom: Network is down
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 
Trying to authenticate with 00:1f:f3:fa:58:59 (SSID='HON Circle' freq=2452 MHz)
Trying to associate with 00:1f:f3:fa:58:59 (SSID='HON Circle' freq=2452 MHz)

For some reason the dhclient triggers the disconnect and I see the
network down. With this kernel it reconnects properly and then dhclient
succeeds. This is against an N-capable AirPort Express.
