Bug Description

When trying to connect to wifi network, network-manager remains blocked in waiting for authentification state then fails after cca 1min. This started to happen after I updated to kubuntu 16.10.

Stopping network manager from service and trying to manually connect with wpa_supplicant works fine.

The only way to fix this for me was to stop network manager and/or networking and restart the services sometimes more than once.

os: Kubuntu 16.10
network-manager: 1.2.4
hardware: dell xps 9550
network controller: BCM43602

Same issue on ubuntu-gnome 16.10 after resuming from sleep.

It is required to restart the network manager.

There was the same issue in Ubuntu 16.04 6/7 months ago and it was fixed in an update.
