It is. See src/sys/net80211/ieee80211.c:1.16. AFAIK, the problem is that there are some interoperability problems when you have both WME + WPA enabled. Disable one of them should be a possible workaround. I believe that Sam has some fixes in his queue; however, those fixes were not yet ready for the forthcoming 6-RELEASE. >>> I noticed today that wpa_supplicant renegotiated multiple times even with >>> SSID broadcasting enabled.

That's what I observed around here: sometimes it takes wpa_supplicant looping multiple times before negotiated to the AP(w/ or w/o hidden SSID). >> Well, we also shouldn't have to enable broadcasting to get >> wpa_supplicant to work.
