Public bug reported: Every time I boot or resume my machine at the office, where there is a WPA network, I am prompted for the authentication details and forced to connect manually. The username and password are automatically filled in from the last successful attempt, and clicking 'connect' is successful.
However, this reveals an underlying bug, probably to do with the consistent failure of the first connection attempt owing to timeouts being hit (extra startup time when first initialised?) This may have the same underlying cause as https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/1084380 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1084364 that wpa_supplicant takes a while to connect, and network-manager doesn't appreciate that it needs more time under certain circumstances, like the first connection attempt. Fixing this will make ubuntu MUCH BETTER for many many people I suspect, where they are permanently struggling with no network and a popup window where no such failure was necessary - e.g. the network and adapter are all fine.
