Station blocked by key handshake fail right before connected (intra roaming) - normal behavior?
Every intra roaming (e.g. 2.4>5GHz) goes like this (log, reverse order):

Please, is this normal/expected behavior or is there some roaming misconfiguration etc.? Standalone setup, 802.11k/v enabled on all APs and stations. Roaming from a different AP seems normal:
