The situation described there is similar to mine, but I am not so sure
it's the same one. In /var/log/system.log, I see the following (most
recent) entries:

key handshake completed (CLOGMT|▒^C

I tried the suggestion on the forum too, applied the key rotation and
master key rotation changes and disabled, then re-enabled the wireless
card.

1) My iPod Touch 4G and my Android phone are able to connect
wireless but unable to navigate
2) My Sony/Android TV and my Samsung BluRay player are not able
to associate to the wireless AP at all.

This is why I am thinking it is similar to but not exactly the same
issue described on the forum.

Do I add this as a wireless rule?
