Installed latest upstream kernel I could find: 3.8.0-030800rc3-generic #201301092235 SMP Thu Jan 10 03:36:25 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
That didn't help the network manager logic bug at all, got the same disconnect. Do note I filed a bug #1099976 where the syslog clearly shows: Jan 15 14:13:31 Aspire-5253 NetworkManager[785]: <info> Auto-activating connection 'LAUREL'.

Jan 15 14:14:10 Aspire-5253 NetworkManager[785]: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless): access point 'LAUREL' has security, but secrets are required. So there it sits, with network disconnected. Network manager has the secrets but isn't even bothering to use tem. them. Manually select Settings > Network, shows the network "Out of Range" which it is not. I do "connect to hidden network" and voila, connects O.K. with the secrets it already had. Note the time stamps: Jan 15 15:18:02 Aspire-5253 NetworkManager[885]: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless): connection 'LAUREL' has security, and secrets exist. No new secrets needed. ...
