Hmm, this is propably not a bug. I could connect on another location, and also in original location after rebooting all the network equipment. Weird that before reseting network devices, I could not connect to either of the two wlan access points with 3.4.0, but rebooting to 3.3.7 worked.

So closing this as it seems the problem was in some other network device..

I'm experiencing this problem on a WPA2 Enterprise network using PEAP. This appears new since 3.4.0. I'm not experiencing this problem this on WPA2 Personal networks.

I'm getting this in dmesg:

[  754.874899] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: ACTIVATE a non DRIVER active station id 0 addr 88:f0:77:f2:99:c1

Is this still a problem on 3.6.5 or later ?
