Is there a wpa_supplicant.core dump in / ?

Can you also send me a sanitized copy of wpa_supplicant.conf, please? I'm 
interested in the lines proto=, key_mgmt=, pairwise=, group=, eap=, and 
phase2=. You may not be using eap= or phase2=, which is fine. I'd like to 
see if there are any differences from what was tested. Though, looking at 
your outputs above you're probably using something like:

        proto=RSN WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=CCMP

Is this correct?

If you try ports/securitiy/wpa_supplicant-devel (same codebase as in 
14-CURRENT), does it work? (ports/security/wpa_supplicant is the old 2.9 
codebase.)

What is your AP set for? 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac?
