Bug Description

Ubuntu version: 12.04
Package version: 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5

My college network uses WPA2 Enterprise. Sometimes when I'm connected to it, the connection simply drops, and won't reconnect unless I click the network icon in the top bar, and disable networking, then re-enable it. Only the WPA2 Enterprise network is affected, the WPA2-PSK network connects fine and doesnt have this issue.

The log file (WifiSyslog.txt) is very long. Can you please indicate where in the log the connection got dropped?
