Title:
  [rt73usb] WPA2 Authentication Requested Multiple Times

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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).
