Many card and access points do not implement the protocols properly. The
consequence is unpredictable incompatibilities.

In once case, the only way I could get a card to work with the AP was by
setting the network anonymous with no  password. Not the world's best
configuration.

I first came across this sort of problem when developing modem firmware.
We had many other modems to test against, and when we checked their
frequencies and timing we found that not one of them met the CCITT
specs.
