Ubuntu – After upgrade to 15.10 Wifi to a corporate network (WPA2) is not working anymore

15.10networkingupgradewirelesswpa2

Last Friday I updated to Ubuntu 15.10.
At that moment I was connected to a corporate network with Wifi.
After upgrade it is not working anymore.

Configuration for the wifi connection:
Security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
Authentication: Protected EAP (PEAP)
Checkbox No CA certificate required.

PEAP version. I tried all 3 options: Auto, version 0 and version 1.
Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2

Username and password are stored. I can still connect to the wifi with my phone with the same credentials.

This is what I see in the syslog:

I got the same issue here: The problem is the wpa_supplicant 2.4 as you can read here: http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Unified-Wired-Wireless-Access/Internal-radius-server-incompatibility-with-the-new-wpa/td-p/236602

If you do a downgrade to 2.3 this problem will be resolve !
