I had similar problem with LinkHub HUB40 and Gentoo kernel 5.8.7-gentoo,
wpa_supplicant 2.9 and "Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168NGW
(iwlwifi)". Authentication was ok, but association always timed out.
Association with other routers was ok and it was working fine before
with LinkHub too
Just a note, I have the same problem with IntelĀ® Wireless-AC 3168
(firmware version 29.541020.0 op_mode iwlmvm) on Gentoo
linux-4.14.8-gentoo-r1 in AP mode (802.11n).
Sometimes kernel only shows warnings from
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/tx.c:1363:
-
case TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST
