Some APs like Motorola Symbol AP7131 and AP650 don't respond well to these rates and don't respond with EAPOL 3/4 consistently. When sending EAPOL 2/4 at 54Mbps we've seen approx 30% success rate in getting EAPOL 3/4 response while using 11Mbps we got 100% success. To increase the chances of successful 4-Way handshake with such APs, send EAPOLs with basic rate policy in order to avoid high rates.
