--- Comment #37 from rkoberman@gmail.com ---
I am surprised to see this issue as the initial message showed both 13.1 and
13.0 to be associated with an SSID "WHU-STU". I should have looked more clo=
sely
as I missed that they are the same SSID with radically different
configurations. Both come from the same vendor but, with 13.1, both are set=
ting
up in a broken manner. "media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/1Mbps mode
11ng" is probably nonsensical. At least it is certainly wrong! DS is obsole=
te
and has not  ben use in year. 1Mbps does make some sense if your are using =
DS,
but, even then, it's weird.

I wish I could look at the ifconfig from when I was at the hotel, but I have
not recorded it anywhere.

The results of this WPA configured mode is very unlikely to work. I'm guess=
ing
that the issue is that the APs at your location is using MCS. Bet the hotel=
 is,
too. It's relatively new and I suspect the 13.1 wpa_supplicant is broken in=
 how
it deals with it. My home router does not use it.

Only about a half dozen commits, from a quick look, to wpa_supplicant, so
bisecting should not take too long, especially since it is in user space. I=
f I=20
had access to an AP that used MCS for selection, I'd do it myself, but I do=
n't.
If you have the interest and the time, it will be fairly simple. (One of the
big things you get with git). teh commits of interest are:
