[Bug 264238] wpa_supplicant fails to associate to open unprotected 802.11n

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=264238

--- Comment #119 from Cy Schubert <cy@FreeBSD.org> ---
So the plot thickens.

Golden_Pond, is an open guest network I created on my DMZ AP. Removing the
guest SSID and opening up the DMZ AP entirely resolves the problem. So, what
does this mean?

An open network will not have an IE. However an AP which has a primary WPA SSID
and a secondary (like a guest SSID) which is open will broadcast a WPA IE. And,
wpa_suppliant uses that to communicate its WPA IE. wpa_supplicant takes that to
mean it's WPA protected.

So the question is, what in wpa_supplicant changed tfor an open network with
key_mgmt=NONE for it to override key_mgmt?

I will post this to the hostap mailing list.
