 Is the AP made by Aruba Networks?
 
 On RELENG_7, I needed a newer version (v0.5.11 instead of v0.5.10) of 
 wpa_supplicant for it to associate correctly.  With v0.5.10, I could see 
 DHCP requests from my laptop but no responses.  This is the patch I am 
 using currently:
 http://people.freebsd.org/~scf/wpa_supplicant-0.5.11-RELENG_7.patch
 
 Note:  sam@ updated HEAD to v0.5.11 then to the v0.6.x series.
