Re: wl127x: Unable to associate with a WPA2-PSK AP

Hi,

I've upgraded the firmware and also backported all patches in Luca's 
tree which do not break API compatibility in kernel 3.9 and still have 
no success. Here goes the log:

And I still have the issue of not being able to scan all APs in the 
vicinity. I can only (briefly) associate with my AP because I restrict 
the scanning frequencies in wpa_supplicant.conf file;

country=PT
ap_scan=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
     ssid="A. Guidance"
     scan_freq=2452
     key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
     proto=WPA2
     pairwise=CCMP TKIP
     group=TKIP
     psk="<some_password_in_ascii>"
}

Any more ideas on how to debug this? Is there any specific debug_level 
mask that can apply to the driver to help it?
