In its current state, there just isn't much we can do with this bug. I
had been "fortunate" enough to get a stacktrace previously from one of
the duplicates, but it's missing just as much data as what's currently
included.

To get this bug in a "usable" state where I can fix the issue (and
sorry, I just haven't had luck reproducing it yet), I'd need someone who
is able to reproduce the bug easily to try the following:

1) Add my ppa 
(https://launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/+archive/sru-staging?field.series_filter=saucy):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mathieu-tl/sru-staging

Note, it will take a few hours for the wpasupplicant packages to build.
The only change is to add a package with debugging symbols so we can
figure out what is going on.

2) install the debug packages and the wpasupplicant with extra debugging
package from my PPA:

sudo apt-get install libc6-dbg
sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant-dbg wpasupplicant

3) Delete any files named wpasupplicant*  from /var/crash (to make sure
we get to see what happens)

4) Reboot (important! we need to make sure the new wpasupplicant gets
used)

5) Reproduce the issue.

Once wpasupplicant crashes you should see it creates a file in
/var/crash with its name: wpasupplicant.0.crash or something similar.
Please send me this file via email at mathieu (at) canonical.com , make
sure the subject is something meaningful.

I won't need five of them, just one is necessary, so please only do this
if you feel confident I could answer you and ask for a bit more
tinkering, like installing another debug package for libnl, if it comes
to it.

Thanks!
