ARGUMENTS

dev
network device
bssid
the BSSID of the AP
req_ie
association request IEs (maybe be NULL)

DESCRIPTION

It should be called by the underlying driver whenever connect has failed in a sequence where no explicit authentication/association rejection was received from the AP. This could happen, e.g., due to not being able to send out the Authentication or Association Request frame or timing out while waiting for the response.
