Please try to specify 'proto=WPA2' in your wpa_supplicant.conf.

It seemed that your AP advertised both WPA and WPA2 information.  Due to
the implementation of the current hypervisor, the gelic driver does not
tell the user space that the AP has both capabilities.  According to
the log, the WPA2 information was selected to go to Linux by the
hypervisor.
