Comment(by jcardona):

 Replying to [comment:22 jcardona]:
 > One hypothesis:  we see scans taking place while associating.  The
 association command is handled atomically by the firmware, but not the WPA
 authentication.  If we scan in other channels during WPA authentication,
 we could miss EAPOL frames, which would have the same symptoms as FM#1 and
 possibly FM#2.

 Ruled out the above hypothesis by canceling queued up scan requests before
 associating.  This did stop the scans that were taking place immediately
 after association, but did not improve the success rate.
