brcmf_bss_connect_done() receives the firmware event in @e but discards it on the failure path. Every failed connect is reported to cfg80211 as WLAN_STATUS_AUTH_TIMEOUT (16), whatever the firmware actually said, so userspace only ever sees: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 status_code=16
[...]
The status reported to cfg80211 is left alone; changing it would alter what userspace sees. [1] https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/issues/38 [2] https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1829 Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
