I'm also running Wily since a week, and I'm unable to connect to my corporate WiFi anymore.
I did a downgrade to the wpa-supplicant version in Debian Sid (2.3-2.1) and the connection works fine again.

Title:
  Wily's wpasupplicant frequently fails on WPA enterprise networks

Status in wpa package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ever since I upgraded from vivid to wily on my laptop, I'm running
  into problems when connecting to my home WPA2 enterprise network.

  Typically the first connection immediately after the driver is loaded
  works as expected, however any further reconnection and the occasional
  roaming between APs cause wpasupplicant to freeze entirely requiring
  me to kill it and most often also reload my wireless driver to get
  things working again.

  ## A failed (hanging) association looks like:
