The log indicates that the Wi-Fi access point rejected the association

We can't read from this log why the Wi-Fi access point rejected the
assocication request.
If I have that Wi-Fi access point on hand, I can bisect this issue.
What is the Wi-Fi access point you are using?

It's a FRITZ!Box 7490 (a very common Wi-Fi Router in Germany) running
Firmware version 07.39.
WPA-Mode is set to WPA2+WPA3

Just a random thought: could you please try those two versions formerly from 
experimental:
  * 2:2.9.0+git20200517+dd2daf0-1
  * 2:2.9.0+git20210909+a75fdcd-1

I have re-enabled some options (WNM, MBO, FILS and mesh networking) in the 
latter, I wonder if that could have some effect.

I tried the various versions from snapshots.d.o

2:2.9.0-23 - works
2:2.9.0+git20200221+f65da0c-1 - works
2:2.9.0+git20200517+dd2daf0-1 - doesn't work
2:2.9.0+git20210909+a75fdcd-1 - doesn't work
2:2.9.0+git20211018+2e122945fa53-1 - doesn't work
2:2.9.0+git20211116+0b853303ae31-1 - doesn't work
2:2.10-1 - doesn't work




After that, the connection was established successfully with 2.10.



Obviously I'd like to keep WPA3 enabled for newer clients.

Regards,
Michael

I then went on and disabled WPA2+WPA3 mode on the Wi-Fi router and set it to WPA2 (CCMP). If I remember correctly, my hardware doesn't support WPA3, but since I enabled support for both WPA2+WPA3, it should fall back to WPA2.
