Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

Yes it still is. Apparently it's the same for my wired connection, just that the wired connection get's reconnected after it fails (so i get disconnected+reconnected every 60 seconds) while the the network manager stops trying to get wireless the first time it fails.

Both of these problems have the same source though - network manager does not detect that dhcp succeeded getting the lease...
