I also tried on and found them the same as sony ultracrap
lenovo thinkpad sl510 (c2d-t6570, 2gb ram, i915)
lenovo thinkpad x201 (i5-m520, 4gb, i915)

Steps I do
- Boot daily 'live'
- right click `nm-tray` on panel select Edit.Connections
- Network.Connections window appears. I click + to add
- Select Connection.Type Wifi, hit Create

- In fields of first open Wi-Fi tab, I change connection name (pyramid), add SSID matching my network, move down to Device and select my wlp5s0 (device name varies)
- Switch to Wi-Fi.Security field and choose WPA2 Personal, then enter my password with an extra 'd' (so it's wrong)
- click SAVE

On bottom panel I then left-click `nm-tray` and select my created 'pyramid' connection name, after a very short while top right I get a Connection.Lost ballon/notification.

(I later changed the saved pyramid removing the extra d & repeat connecting, this time it's a connection.established message).

Does what I've described here match what you are doing???

If it doesn't, can you please describe what you do, so I can try what you do differently. (hopefully you can follow this)
