Exactly the same as the OP describes happens on my laptop, too. Clean install and all that. Except that before installing Xenial I was using Wily, and that I have Atheros wifi on a Toshiba laptop, which only confirms that "it has nothing to be with the chip", nor with the related modules/drivers.
The most obvious guess is it is a permission-related issue, but I don't know where or how to fix it... What "user" handles logged off NetworkManager?
