Are you using 802.11n? Dave's patches fixed scan result processing, but
it looks like they may not have fixed wireless_send_event() processing.
It would be interesting to see what wpa_supplicant debug log shows
here. I would assume the device was able to associate with the AP, but
something went wrong when the association information (the data that
was changed to use binary format instead of text-based custom iw event).
