Public bug reported:

After upgrade from gutsy to hardy beta, my laptop will not connect to
our campus LEAP wireless system.

I have no difficulties connecting to various WEP systems, but the
network fails on LEAP.

I have the intel3945 chipset, and have compiled the 1.2.26k iwl3945
module.

Before upgrading, I'd been using knetworkmanager/NetworkManager and had
successfully been able to connect to the LEAP network via the WPA
Enterprise/ LEAP IEEE 802.1x, WPA1 version.

The same configuration fails to connect under the new update. Knetworkmanager 
gets to the
28% mark and fails - I get the little popup saying 'Connection Fialure - Could 
not connect to the
network <name>'.
I've tried Wicd as well, to similar result (although Wicd only has 1 LEAP 
option). 
A colleague with the ipw3945 driver under ubuntu feisty has no problem 
connecting to the LEAP network using either networkmanager or wicd.

So I understand that the 28% mark is where the leap handshaking/authentication 
is being done.
This would suggest a problem with WPAsupplicant, wouldn't it? dmesg seems to 
suggest that that is the case:

[   24.057149] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[   24.172218] wlan0: Initial auth_alg=128
[   24.172228] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:5c:eb:1a:90

[   24.193510] wlan0: AP denied authentication (auth_alg=128 code=13)
[   24.243503] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:5c:eb:1a:90
[   24.244391] wlan0: RX authentication from 00:11:5c:eb:1a:90 (alg=128 
transaction=2 status=13)

But information on wpa_supplicant
(http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant) states that wpasupplicant
supports LEAP: "* (note: requires special support from the driver)".
This suggests to me that the problem lies with iwl3945.

I've seen other problems posted with the iwl3945 driver, but haven't
seen this particular issue posted yet.
