We have observed (in Wireshark traces) that when calling wiced_wifi_join_specific()  (Broadcom BCM943362WCD4/WICED SDK version 2.3.1) the radio firmware appears to wait about three seconds after receiving the probe response from the AP before starting association.  We do not see a delay when calling wiced_wifi_join().  Ive attached a zip file containing our test program and instructions for reporducing the condition.

On the first association after a download, the WPA2 PSK must be calculated.

The calculation takes 2+ seconds.

The resulting PMK is stored in the DCT.

Future associations use the PMK instead to avoid wasting time doing the calculation.
