Hi, Not sure if the same problem, but I am also experiencing problems with wireless connection to eduroam. Box is a Toshiba laptop with an intel iwl4965, using iwl4965 module in stable (kernel 2.6.26) and iwlagn in squeeze (kernel 2.6.32). I thought problem was related to the kernel module, but looking at this bug report that may not be the case. I do not have access to that box now and will not have until next week, so I am just adding what I remember from my yesterday's experience with the problem. With squeeze and stable 2.6.26 kernel wireless to eduroam works although with some idle periods and some time to establish connection (and without udev, but that is because old kernels having SYSFS enabled do not work with squeeze udev, something known and hopefully unrelated). Real problems appear when using 2.6.32, then I cannot even establish connection, lots of timeouts. I also see lots of 'Michael MIC failure' lines in wpa* logs. Not sure if this happened before, because wpa* log lines are not prefixed by time. I needed to do some real work with that box, so I connected a wire and enabled eth0 and put this into my TODO list. If I can, I will try to work a bit more on this next week, trying to tune timeouts or trying old wpa_supplicant, in case problem is here instead of in the module itself. Unfortunately there is no other wireless network available there to try.
