Well, bug 57843 does not describe symptoms besides spamming of the syslog. This bug does describe spamming of syslog and perhaps connectivity issues for some users. However, the the upstream bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539915 you mention NoOp seems to be similar to this one. Perhaps this bug is more informative than 539915, with suggestions for solving the problem, that work in some cases, so just merge bug 539915 an 1323089 instead.
In my view it is unclear if bug 57843 is related. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #539915 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539915 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to wpa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1323089 Title: wpa_supplicant writes to syslog every 2 minutes Status in “wpa” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS wpasupplicant 2.1-0ubuntu1 wpa_supplicant is writing to syslog every couple of minutes.

But it's spamming the syslog, making it very difficult to find any other thing there, and it's generating constant writes to disk, and an unnecessarily large syslog file.
