Latest Kernel updates (2.6.24-23) break WPA Enterprise Hidden SSID on iwl3945 in Hardy

[John B.]

Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.24-23-generic-di

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

Wireless Hardware: Intel Wireless 3945ABG, driver iwl3945

When connecting to a hidden SSID WPA Enterprise network, I get rejected using kernel 2.6.24-23-generic all of the time (have only been able to connect once), and get rejected every time when connecting from my office. Rebooting and using 2.6.24-22-generic fixes the problem always. I believe when I get rejected the "reason" is "2", it always authenticates with the AP and then deauthenticates (under -23).

Please let me know what other information I can provide in order to help with this bug.

EDIT: Please see the attachments for the syslog files for a failed connection using 2.6.24-23 and a successful connection using 2.6.24-22. Using the WPA personal non-hidden SSID network at home is fine on either kernel.

I'm attaching the syslog from a failed connection attempt (under 2.6.24-23) and a successful connection attempt (under 2.6.24-22). I do not have these issues with WPA personal with a non-hidden SSID, only WPA Enterprise with a hidden SSID.

Here's the log from the successful connection.
