Bug Description
The first time an AP is selected in knetworkmanager, a link briefly appears then disappears. dmesg reports:
[ 186.408000] wlan1: Initial auth_alg=0
[ 186.408000] wlan1: authenticate with AP 00:0d:xx:f9:xx:24
[ 186.420000] wlan1: RX authentication from 00:0d:xx:f9:xx:24 (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0)
[ 186.420000] wlan1: authenticated
[ 186.420000] wlan1: associate with AP 00:0d:xx:f9:xx:24
[ 186.420000] wlan1: RX AssocResp from 00:0d:xx:f9:xx:24 (capab=0x11 status=0 aid=6)
[ 186.420000] wlan1: associated
[ 192.540000] wlan1: disassociate(
If I repeat the process, everything works fine. dmesg reports the above minus the final line. I can re-select the AP as many times as I like - the problem only occurs the first time after booting.
This problem is specific to knetworkmanager. If I configure the connection manually via modifying /etc/network/
It's not an issue with the card, as the problem occurs on two wifi cards with completely different chipsets (rt2500 and prism54).

This problem goes away with the workaround I suggested for bug 156413. So this bug is likely just a different manifestation of 156413. Am marking as duplicate.
