I have not seen any issues in dmesg that appear relevant; but have
pulled from verbose debug output of wpa_supplicant the following lines:

WPA: IE in 3/4 msg does not match with IE in Beacon/ProbeResp
(src=00:13:46:5f:f3:c4) WPA: WPA IE in Beacon/ProbeResp -
hexdump(len=28): dd 1a 00 50 f2 01 01 00 00 50 f2 02 02 00 00 50 f2 04

00 0f ac 04 00 0f ac 02 01 00 00 0f ac 02 0c 00
wpa_driver_wext_disassociate

note that RSN IE in Beacon/ProbeResp does not match WPA: RSN IE in 3/4
msg.  in the second to last byte, the former shows 00 and the later
shows 0c.
