Comment 0 for bug 1186932

After upgrading from 3.8.0-23 to kernel 3.8.0-24 currently in -proposed, wireless WPA 2 enterprise authentication stopped working. I am having issues now which very much resembles the problems in bug 1104476 (although I do use a certficate).

Here's some output from syslog during connection attempt:

The connection uses TTLS/MSCHAPv2 auth with certificate.

Booting older 3.8.0-23 kernel makes it work fine again, so something has regressed.

It's been several years and Ubuntu releases since I've had any problems connecting to this network (at work).
