["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

NA, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity
in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so,
could you please test for this with the latest development release of
Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-
live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  [rt73usb] WPA2 Authentication Requested Multiple Times

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Connecting to the WiFi LAN the first time when the PC has booted up
  with Ubuntu 12.04 is ok. However after a while there is a
  disconnection from the LAN. When network-manager attempts to reconnect
  it takes a long time before a WPA2 authentication dialog pops up
  asking for the password. After a while the same dialog pops up
  multiple times even though the dialog popped up the first time.

  When entering in the correct password to connect to the LAN via the
  dialog, network-manager takes a long time to connect but pops up with
  the same dialog again. No network connecion is ever made. A temporary
  workaround is to disable networking and re-enable it again from the
  network-manager applet. However if another connection needs to be made
  to the LAN then the same problems occur, and the workaround must be
  used again.

  This authentication issue is serious and if the workaround no longer
  works then the problem becomes a critical one. Noticed the same
  problems occuring on other PCs running Ubuntu 12.04, which use a
  ralink wireless chipset. It appears as though this problem affects all
  Ubuntu 12.04 PCs that use a ralink wirless chipset for WiFi
  networking.

  In the previous Ubuntu LTS version (10.04) the authentication problem
  rarely occured. Initially in Ubuntu 12.04 it was like Ubuntu 10.04 but
  after some updates then authentication problem has become much worse
  (huge regression).
