Hi Jerry. Thanks for the bug reports. You could be even more helpful if you would split your information up into distinct issues. For each issue, search the existing bug reports; if you find that the issue has already been reported then add your information there, otherwise open a new report for that issue.

There have been a few reports recently of NM taking a very long time at startup to start working. Shall we make this the topic of the present bug report (#1017738), that it takes twenty minutes for NM to show ESSIDs? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017738 Title: NM fails to connect to wireless WPA -- Quantal 25 June Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Wireless WPA fails to "automatically connect" even though "enable wireless" is on when rebooting. Systems Settings Network is blank where it should have the network name. That's a bug. Correctly says wired network is unplugged. Network Applet Edit Connections says wired connection last used 5 minutes ago. Has not been plugged in since yesterday. That's a bug. Network Applet Edit Connections says wireless connection last used 2 hours ago. Not true, last used 5 minutes ago. That's a bug. Selecting Network Applet Edit Connections Wireless Security tab should ask for pathword authorization to set/change password. It does not. That's a bug. What the Wireless Security tab does is just sit there for a couple minutes then (60 to 120 seconds) the menu appears. All the correct data is already there. Save, close. No changes made. Wireless WPA still does not connect even though it was running before reboot. "connect automatically" does not. That's a bug. Systems Settings Network still shows no network name while network applit edit connections shows the correct name. Why don't they both show the same network name? That's a bug. After 20 minutes, it suddenly does show the network name. Some time after that the wireless WPA connects. No new information was used. It already had network name, security type, and password when it rebooted. "cinnect automatically" does not. That's a bug. Any clue what to do to "automatically connect"? This is a "Regression" since Precise works very usably on the same hardware.
