            Bug ID: 193458
           Summary: can not connect reliable to Wifi AP with WPA-PSK /
                    WPA-EAP
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: i386
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: wireless
          Assignee: freebsd-wireless at FreeBSD.org

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

# Hotel Wieserhof
#
network={
        ssid="Naturhotel Wieserhof"
        scan_ssid=1
        # key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        # key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-EAP
        psk="N at tur%Wieser"
        # key_mgmt=NONE
        # wep_tx_keyidx=0
        # wep_key0="N at tur%Wieser"
}

note: credentials have been was by local hotel management staff as:
Wi-Fi: Naturhotel Wieserhof
Password: N at tur%Wieser
i.e. the credentials are correct and the SSID was visible with ifconfig wlan0
list scan


WPA started as:

# /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -d -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D bsd

connection (associating, IP by DHCP) was only sometimes possible far away from
the AP (in the hotel room, where the staff said it is not supposed to work),
and was never possible near the AP (in the lobby, where it was supposed to
work);

I tested the various combinations, the best was what is visible above as aktive
lines;

I will attach log files;
