Greetings,

(resending plaintext - oops)

I'm seeing failures to authenticate with a WPA2 secured AP using ath9k
based cards on wireless-next:

I've tried loading ath9k with nohwcrypt=1 and see the same.

I do not have any trouble with an ath10k card in the same system:

wlan1: CTRL-EVENT-REGDOM-CHANGE init=COUNTRY_IE type=COUNTRY alpha2=US
^^^^ at this point I can dhcp IP config and all is good

Here's the PCI info for the two cards:

08:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller [11ab:4380]
09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9580 Wireless
Network Adapter [168c:0033] (rev 01)

I don't know when ath9k last worked honestly. I usually use them under
OpenWrt which has its own patches against periodic updates of linux
backports. I noticed this first with Ubuntu 16.04 with the Ubuntu 4.4
kernel, saw it still with the Ubuntu 4.8 kernel, then repeated the
issue in wireless-next.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Tim
