Well almost, after a while of being connected it then does this:

CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Trying to authenticate with 00:0b:85:5b:8d:6c (SSID='ATH-GLOBAL' freq=2462 MHz)
Trying to associate with 00:0b:85:5b:8d:6c (SSID='ATH-GLOBAL' freq=2462 MHz)

CTRL-EVENT-EAP-METHOD EAP vendor 0 method 25 (PEAP) selected
OpenSSL: tls_connection_handshake - Failed to read possible
Application Data error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0)

And I then end up with the same:

>>> mcgrof@tux ~ $ iw dev wlan0 link
>>> Authenticated with 00:0b:85:5b:8d:6c (on wlan0)
>>> Not connected.

But this time if I hit ctrl-c it gets cleared and I can auth/assoc
fine after that. But an issue is still present.
