Jérémy Subtil, 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

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:
  wpasupplicant associates only in precise conditions

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “wpasupplicant” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is a very weird bug. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy with a NETGEAR
  WG311v2 wifi card (Ndiswrapper driver). I try to connect to the AP
  through the command line because I wasn't able to make it work with
  network-manager, wicd or the GNOME network tool: connection was
  endless or timed-out.

  With kernel 2.6.24-16, my wifi card only associates with the AP by the
  command line "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
  -d", but it doesn't with "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0
  -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" or "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0
  -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd".

  With kernel 2.6.24-18, it doesn't associates at all.

  Thus, I'm suspecting wpasupplicant to connect to my AP too quickly (or
  slowly) when it fails, because association works only with a precise
  kernel version and a precise debugging level.

  I'm using the same wpa_supplicant.conf template as provided in
  /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/wpa-psk-tkip.conf.

  Is this bug really related to wpasupplicant? Or is it ndiswrapper's
  kernel module? Is there a way to introduce a waiting time during the
  association process?
