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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1323089 Title: wpa_supplicant writes to syslog every 2 minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/+bug/1323089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
