Ok so I created a guest wifi network without any encryption enabled at all and the client still refuses to connect.
Again, the connection is made perfectly using the USB dongle I have but not the built in libertas sd8686 chipset. I do currently use pfSense as a firewall box behind my wireless router (acting as an AP) and can see that no DHCP request is making it to the pfSense box. I believe you are right in the point about the firmware being the problem here. I should also confirm - the firmware in use is the latest from the linux-firmware Ubuntu 16.04 package. I did read around the net about being having various issues with various firmware sources and not others but despite trying firmware linked directly from Marvell I seem to always get one of two issues: 1.) I am unable to connect and keep getting asked for passphrases, or: 2.) The system completely freezes up (with the v8 firmwares I tried) I’m not really sure what else to try at this point.
