Public bug reported:

I have a Thinkpad T60p with AR5212 atheros chip, and it works somewhat with 
11b, however a LEAP access point with hidden ESSID it fails to work with 
consistantly:
/home/jbj/Dwpa_supplicant -Dwext -c wpa_supplicant.conf  -i ath0
Trying to associate with SSID '<SSID>'
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

....

However wpa_supplicant can operate if set to 11b:
# iwpriv ath0 mode 11b;wpa_supplicant -Dwext -c wpa_supplicant.conf  -i ath0
Trying to associate with SSID '<SSID>'
Associated with 00:17:0f:e4:83:70

CTRL-EVENT-EAP-SUCCESS EAP authentication completed successfully
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:17:0f:e4:83:70 completed (auth) [id=0 
id_str=]

However DHCP still doesn't work....

$ sudo dhclient ath0

It works completely against a WPA2-personal AP, but only in mode 11b.
