Oops this has been going on since 2009 and a developer did respond that
it is simply for roaming in corporate environments with multiple access
points to connect to.  If you only have one AP at home go into network
manager, select "Edit Connection", highlight your AP / wlan0 and click
"Edit".  Then click the down arrow next to BSSID  which is blank.  Then
select the mac address that was hidden before.

My apologies for linking this to an 802.11n problem.  Once bitten twice
shy I guess....

Title:
  wpa_supplicant writes to syslog every 2 minutes

Status in “wpa” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  wpasupplicant 2.1-0ubuntu1

  wpa_supplicant is writing to syslog every couple of minutes. Example
  output:

  The message seems harmless as far as the network is concerned, meaning
  there is no problem with the wifi connection. But it's spamming the
  syslog, making it very difficult to find any other thing there, and
  it's generating constant writes to disk, and an unnecessarily large
  syslog file.
