A very recent regression.

Which device driver is that machine using?

Do you use hwcrypto? Can you try the other way around?

No

just set hwcrypto=1, right?

Yes.

It looks like wpa_supplicant authentication timeouts 10 seconds after association. So the STA decides to disassociate itself. I'm not 100% sure it is wpa_supplicant authentication related. Could you configure the AP to open mode (and also change your wpa_supplicant.conf setting to reflect that) and retest?

The reporter has not responded for almost two months.  Closing.
