found 579297 0.7.3-6 tags 579297 help thanks Running wheezy here. I'm still affected by this bug. Here is the Ubuntu bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/429370
Like it was mentioned before, compiling wpasupplicant with gnutls seems to solve the problem for some people. I'm attaching my syslog while the disconnection and subsequent failure to connect happen. Furthermore, after a disconnection from 'eduroam', I cannot connect to another wireless network for several minutes (including WEP without authentication, e.g. look for umd in syslog). I was not actually seeing this problem using squeeze (though my interface was on wlan1, instead of wlan0) and a vanilla longterm kernel 3.0.x. This issue is quite annoying. Is the problem still present for the other bug reporter?
