    wpa_supplicant: Resolve secondary VAP association issue

    Association will fail on a secondary open unprotected VAP when the
    primary VAP is configured for WPA. Examples of secondary VAPs are,
    hotels, universities, and commodity routers' guest networks.

    A broadly similar bug was discussed on Red Hat's bugzilla affecting
    association to a D-Link DIR-842.

    This suggests that as IEs were added to the 802.11 protocol the old code
    was increasingly inadaquate to handle the additional IEs, not only a
    secondary VAP.
