Need hints on debugging weird association problem

[Dmitry Astapov]

Hi,

I'll impose on you a little bit more, if I might.

I've taken the airlogs, but (being the newbie in this area) I'm having
doubts wether I interpret them right.

Both failed attempt (failed.cap from the attachment) and succesfull attempt
(succes.cap) seems to have almost-identical frames sent by my N810. Am I
reading it right?

In this case, my AP should be the source of the problem, even if "everything
else" associates with it just fine, correct?
