The WPS enrollee feature of the WICED SDK is not working in my tests. I am running the snip.enrollee code from the unmodified SDK 3.1.2 on a BCM493362WCD4 without success. The demo.appliance is not connecting either using WPS.

I tried out different Access Points and different WLAN channels:

Firtz Box 7490

Linksys E1000

snip.wps_registrar on BCM493362WCD4

Those Access Points all worked with a LG G2 mobile phone connecting using WPS Push Button execept for the snip.wps_registrar.

Alll off the tests resulted in similar output on the UART:

Here seems to be a similar problem:

Is anybody able to run the snip successfull? What could cause the problems?

Some changes were made to the WPS code as a result of adding support for Wi-Fi Direct but some necessary changes weren't properly propagated to the WPS related snip applications. Specifically the WPS authentication and encryption types now need to be added to the device details in the apps. I'll attach a patch for the enrollee and registrar snip apps which will probably need to be manually applied. The appliance app needs more work so I don't have an easy patch for that yet.
