Network manager does not auto-connect to a configured wifi-network

[Ben]

Network manager (nm) does not auto-connect to a configured wifi-network (e.g. "net-a") after upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10. Before the upgrade nm auto-connected to the pre-configured wireless network (net-a). Now you have to manually connect to the configured wifi-network (net-a). After manual connect, the network performes normal.
