WPA_supplicant trouble connecting client to AP

Hello,

I'm experiencing some issues trying to connect a client to an AP. In
the side of the AP everything seems ok, but when I set the client I
don't know why its state doesn't change from DISCONNECTED as it can be
seen on the wpa_supplicant output below.

I call wpa_supplicant like this

wpa_supplicant -dd -B -P /var/run/wifi-wlan1.pid -D nl80211 -i wlan1
-c /var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf

where the configuration file is like

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan1

network={

    scan_ssid=1
    ssid="irt-ah-inria-siebe"
    bssid=64:70:02:3E:A7:82
    key_mgmt=NONE


    fixed_freq=1
}


The above command retrieves this

Any hint, why is my wlan1 always disconnected??

Thanks in advance,
