Comment:

 We currently suspect that the security info configuration is
 overwritten/trashed between the point it is set via ioctls and the moment
 the association worker picks it up.

 The following log shows a failure with an WPA-enabled AP:

 {{{
 # Assoc Request is asking to update the security info field, but
 WPAenabled is unset

 No solution yet, but getting closer.
