    FWIW... I set my AP to broadcast the ssid. It then quickly associated
    with it. But then dhclient 'broke the association' when it tried to
    acquire a lease (I have removed the media lines from dhclient.conf)?
    and subsequent wpa_supplicant attempts would no longer detect or
    associate with the AP... till I reboot.

    Attached is that log.

    What else can I provide to help.
