RTL8189ES/ETV + WPA or WPA2

Faced the issue of using WPA or WPA2 on RTL8189ES/ETV.
When using this WIFI device as an open access point or client, the connection occurs without problems, and when WPA or WPA2 is used, then when connecting, I receive a message that the password is incorrect. The driver collected from here: https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux. Checked on linux-5.8.9, 5.10 and 5.11.2 kernels. Tried programs hostapd, NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant.
NetworkManager wlan0.nmconnection:

With other WIFI devices on this computer and with these settings, everything works fine.
Does anyone have any idea where to dig?

Re: RTL8189ES/ETV + WPA or WPA2

If you add when compiling the driver:
EXTRA_CFLAGS + = -DCONFIG_CONCURRENT_MODE
a second wlan device appears and it works fine with WPA and WPA2 in both access point and client mode.
But why isn't wlan0 working?

Re: RTL8189ES/ETV + WPA or WPA2

Did you open https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux/issues/58 ?

Is this an x86_64 or ARM system ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)

Tested on Orange Pi R1 board. This is the archlinux ARM. But I think the problem is common.
