I've actually asked on the kde forum [1], but I suspect there is nothing useful there. FWIW they mentioned putting NetworkManager in debug mode, but I couldn't work out how to kill it without it automatically restarting. (They also suggested I ask on this mailing list.)

I can see my network in the KDE network plasmoid minutes before it automatically connect, so I suspect it's not purely the fact that the network cannot be found. One other thing I noticed is the network name appears at slightly variable times in the plasmoid. Sometimes it's within two seconds. Sometimes it can take more like 15–20 seconds. In addition, occasionally (perhaps 20% of the time) the network automatically connects as expected within a few seconds. I wonder if the problem is that the time it takes to find the network is variable. If it find is at (say) < 3 seconds, then it can connect automatically immediately. If it takes longer than this, the polling time to re-attempt the connection is slow enough that it will take more like 2 minutes. FWIW I have a different computer running Xubuntu 13.04 and it connect perfectly to the network everytime. $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200/2nd Generation Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev b5) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev b5) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev b5) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 6 (rev b5) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM67 Express Chipset Family LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF116M [GeForce GT 555M/635M] (rev ff) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 [Rainbow Peak] (rev 34) 04:00.0 USB controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 04) 0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
