            Bug ID: 287513
           Summary: AX201 cannot connect to Hidden Networks but works fine
                    when the the same network is no longer hidden [vendor]
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: wireless
          Assignee: wireless@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: michel@universal-devices.com

Hello, 

* Hardware Information
iwlwifi0@pci0:0:20:3:   class=0x028000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086
device=0x4df0 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0074
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz'
    class      = network

* Driver information (used fwget):

* Scenarios 

** Using ap_scan=1

*** /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ***
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1

network={
        ssid="UD26"
        bssid=94:83:c4:69:6a:45
        scan_ssid=1
        psk=98635f75f4384180a57632a85c13b66da597e62fface976797231f4e08457432
        priority=5
}

*** Results ***
Even though the scan finds/lists the network and bssid, it skips it:

wlan0: 0: 94:83:c4:69:6a:45 ssid='' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=20 caps=0x31
level=-36 freq=2437
wlan0:    skip - SSID not known
wlan0: No suitable network found

** Using ap_scan=2

*** /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ***
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=2

network={
        ssid="UD26"
        bssid=94:83:c4:69:6a:45
        scan_ssid=2
        psk=98635f75f4384180a57632a85c13b66da597e62fface976797231f4e08457432
        priority=5
}

*** Results ***
It find the network and tries to associate but fails with "association request
to the driver failed" :

wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DSCP-POLICY clear_all
wlan0: Ignore new scan request for 1.000000 sec since an earlier request is
scheduled to trigger sooner

wpa_driver_bsd_set_rsn_wpa_ie: set PRIVACY 1
bsd_ctrl_iface: if wlan0 (no change) enable 1 IFF_UP 1
ioctl[SIOCS80211, op=21, val=0, arg_len=42]: No such file or directory
wlan0: Association request to the driver failed

** Using other flags/parameters

passive_scan=1 - identical issues as above
network block:
-proto=RSN
-key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
-auth_alg=OPEN
-pariwise=CCMP

They all produced the same identical output as 1 and 2.
