Bug Description
I'm being bitten by this exact issue: http://
TL;DR: wpa_supplicant gets PREV_AUTH_NOT_VALID message from AP, should immediately reauthenticate to same AP, instead blacklists AP and attempts to find different AP with same ESSID. If there isn't any, association permanently fails.
This is evidently fixed in wpa_supplicant 2.5; all Ubuntu releases up to and including Zesty are on 2.5.
