Bug Description
On boot with amd64 Broadcom BCM43225, Raring NetworkManager correctly detects the network name, then NM falsely reports "out of range". What NM is trying to do is to connect without using the WPA encryption key which it already has.
This is similar to bug 1097002 except in 1097002 NM doesn't even see the hidden network name even though it already has the encryption key for that network.
In syslog below, says "has security but secrets are required". That's right, has security, but NM already has the secret encryption key; NM is supposed to use the key instead of disconnecting.
Obviously NM doesn't even look to see it already has the key which it does.
The branch in the NM script that sees "secrets are required" should go right ahead, see that it already has the "secrets", and use them. NetworkManager either doesn't have this path or is refusing to use it.
I go on to connect manually with settings > network using the encryption key network manager already had and should have used.
In any case, when NetworkManager finally does ask the kernel to connect, the kernel connects just fine. Not a kernel problem.
