Under the network management the wifi will show 3 times. When try to connect to an AP with WPA2 it will ask 3 times the passphrase. But unable to connect. You can see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1212720 for the ubuntu-bug linux report.
There are 3 network interfaces with different types being created when driver is loaded. 1. mlan0 (infra. STA) 2. uap0 (AP) 3. p2p0 (P2P_CLIENT) Only mlan0 is for infra STA use. Doesn't the network manager check the type and only list the interface with STA type?
It show all 3 interface and try to configure all 3 at the same times. It asked 3 passphrase.

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2846729/ This patch should workaround it.
Is this patch going to be push upstream ?
Yes. The link I provided @c#3 is the upstream patch.
Tried the patch and it solved the problem. Thank you
Bing Zhao, Doesn't look like this patch make it to rc7. Is this going to be in the release version ? Thank you
It was submitted for 3.12. If you want it in 3.11 we can resend the patch (with commit ID from linux.git) to 3.11-stable later.
Bing Zhao, Yes it would be nice if it will be in 3.11. Otherwise it need to be done by all the distro. Thank you.
It's in linux-stable 3.11.1 now. 5c68732 Linux 3.11.1 ae7ab51 mwifiex: do not create AP and P2P interfaces upon driver loading
