Oh, and a little more detail on why I'm certain this is related to the
nvidia proprietary driver...

Part of our QA process after we image a system (before it's shipped to
the customer) is to test WiFi. Since we started shipping Utopic, we've
had 0% failure on systems with Intel graphics.

On hardware with an nvidia GPU (for which we always pre-install the
proprietary driver), we've had 100% failure when the system has an SSD
for the OS drive. When  the OS is on an HDD, it often works, but
sometimes there are failures there too.

You can work around this by going into "Edit connections" and entering
your password for the wifi there. But the proper password dialog fails
to pop-up when you just click on the wifi name in the indicator.
