Comment(by dsd):

 This sounds like one of the WPA regressions introduced in 8.2.1. There has
 been some discussion on this in the past.

 I think these bugs probably don't exist in F11 builds simply because the
 kernel patches in question were never carried forward.

 And in my opinion that's a good thing -- I don't recall ever seeing a
 report that these patches improved connectivity to a specific AP, but we
 have plenty of examples of where connectivity has regressed.

 Also, this bug seems to be about both WPA and WPA2? WPA2 (RSN) should be
 fine, but there is a fundamental incompatibility between the design of WPA
 and the wireless architecture used in our system. We can never expect 100%
 success with WPA unless some hacks are employed on the firmware side, and
 I presume nothing has been done there.
