This other network is a public access point, I have no access to the
hardware but the password was provided to me.

Looking at the logs it shows MAC is 18:28:61:56:ec:bf which gives
"AirTies" on the Mac/Vendor lookup http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/

The following syslog line contains some more information about the used protocol:
wpa_supplicant[2689]: WPA: Key negotiation completed with 18:28:61:56:ec:bf [PTK=CCMP GTK=TKIP]

I tried to use the "Use as a Hotspot" option in the NetworkManager and
it does not create a hotspot that is visible to my laptop or my phone,
also I get garbled syslog messages again when disconnecting. Again the
SSID of the  SIOCSIWESSID syscall is broken in the syslog.

Title:
  2357:0100 [Gigabyte 965P-DS3] USB Wifi TP-Link WN8200ND cannot
  associate to access points

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The Usb Wifi dongle TP-Link WN8200ND (rtl8192cu driver) does not
  connect with a default 14.04 trusty updated one or two days ago from
  the internet.

  Partial WORKAROUND: If I add the dkms module that replaces the builtin
  driver (see instructions and source code in [1]) then I can connect to
  some access points (like my cellphone tethering access point) but not
  to other access points where my laptop connects without any problems.
