Comment 68 for bug 969343

Tested this last night and seeing exactly the same issues on a machine with a very similar Centrino WIFI adapter as the original poster.
Test with these versions Openssl 1.0.1-4ubuntu5 and wpasupplicant_0.7.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 - fully patched as of 10/07/2012 with proposed sources selected.

I Created a new partition on the same box, installed a fresh version of 11.10, and all works fine.

The bug listed against openssl seems to have seen no movement since the 8th June.

A serious issue has been identified , but is anyone actively working on getting a resolution? Just asking.

More than happy to help with diagnosis and testing if asked.
