Comment 141 for bug 969343

For what it's worth, I'm having this in an up-to-date 12.04 too. Wireless works flawlessly, except when connecting to an eduroam network, in which case it times out with this repeated in the syslog:

I'm not sure how to interpret the history/status of this bug - is it still alive? Please let me know if I this belongs somewhere else, or if there's any more info I can provide.
