I have seen this behaviour in Oneiric on an 802.11 wired network.

On Windows, the network connectivity instructions explicitly tell us to
disable "Enable Fast Reconnect". The wpa_supplicant in Oneiric will not
read a configuration file by default added using just -c. Further, it
will not read a configuration file set on the command line using -c
unless an interface is also set using -i. Even after all this was done,
it went on to use fast_reauth anyway because it was a wired interface
and it tried to communicate to the interface using wireless extensions.
In the end the  wpa_supplicant DBus service needed to be started with
-ieth0 -Dwired -c <pathtoconf> and the configuration file specified
fast_reauth=0. This really DID disable fast_reauth, working around
whatever problem this particular network has...
