Public bug reported:

With an access point configured for WPA (TKIP), boot/associate six ASUS
eeePC 1005HA running either UNR 9.10 or UNE 10.04 simultaneously (within
a 2-3 second window) and one of them will cause a MIC challenge failure,
where, by protocol, everyone associated to the access point will be
disconnected for approximately 60 seconds.

While troubleshooting, determined the Xandros 1.8 image that ships on
the ASUS eeePC 1005HA uses a different driver altogether. Simultaneously
associate six of those while a UNR 9.10 or UNE 10.04 client is
associated and the UNR/UNE client will cause a MIC challenge failure, I
suspect from having such a tight cycle of group rekeying, based on the
logs:

May 13 13:05:46 asd-laptop wpa_supplicant[732]: Michael MIC failure detected

Retested by reassociating the six Xandros clients without the UNR/UNE
client and no MIC failure occurs.
