After a recent software update 3 days ago, the connection routine to the wireless router is failing during the authentication of the WPA2 password. The router is fine, other systems can still connect using the WPA2 key. However the wpa supplicant log shows the following:

The problem appears to be WPA failing to set GTK to the driver and RSN failing to configure GTK. I checked inside the wpa_supplicant source code, there is only 1 place that this message occurs, but since I didn’t write that code, I am not sure why the failure has occurred.
Any ideas where to go next? The system connects just fine to any unsecured wireless router, but I would like to regain use under WPA2 encryption.
P.S. MAC code and SSID changed above, because someone used the real one to locate me to within 1 ft location on the earth’s surface…
