Hello.
I'm posting this in case someone has the same problem.
I'm using a LoLin NodeMCU board V3 (ESP-12E module) and Arduino IDE 1.6.9 with ESP8266 core, with the latest version (2.2.0) it was not able to connect to my wlan from Netgear DG834G (firmware version V2.10.22) with WPA encryption enabled. It would connect only with WPA disabled. The same for 2.1.0 core.
The latest version which works for me is 2.0.0.

Best regards
Christian

Hi all.

I opened an issue in ESP8266_RTOS_SDK espressif github repository https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK/issues/539 because the same problem occured using ESP8266_RTOS_SDK.
It seems there was something wrong in libnet80211.a, because after they provided a new version I have no more problems connecting ESP8266 boards to my AP.
So it seems the culprit is this closed source library in esp8266 arduino core.
I'm wondering if there's a way to have this fixed, does anyone has any suggestions?

Regards.
