Bug Description

Started happening on 0.9.6.0~git201207271115.edb85e9-0ubuntu1. On booting & logging in, no auto wireless connection is attempted. The n-m indicator shows NO wireless networks. 'sudo iwlist scan' shows them, though.

On the indicator, selecting 'connect to hidden wireless network' allows me to select one existing connection, and activate it.
