WLAN Driver if_iwm (Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160) cannot connect to AP.

The driver loads correctly, I can create a wlan0 interface but when I want to
connect to a WPA2 secured AP the connection fails with the error message:

Hello Stefan,

I jsut got an intel 7260.hmwwb.r today and I got the same problem.
On my AP setup I had my ssid hidden. When I made it public I managed to
associate with wpa_supplicant(but it shows 11g, havent tried speedtests yes)
I guess it is a probe problem and it cannot verify the hidden SSID even if you
add the line scan_ssid=1 on wpa_supplicant.conf
Hope than helps

Fotis

P.S.

dmesg and ifconfing wlan0:

# dmesg|grep 7260
