Oops, yes, I didn't catch the different seqno and thought it was all
retries of a single frame.

Right. Clearly this is because we actually leave the channel when we get
the response to the auth frame.

I guess most cases we have the client much faster than the AP, so this
might never be an issue. I guess here you were saying the client wasn't
all that fast in responding.

In fact the AP seems to take ~17.1ms from one frame to the other, and
the client ~20.4ms, though the client has some propagation delay through
the software stack too.

I don't think this is really the right fix, but it might help:
