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(reason=3)

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/interfaces, I don't see the problem.

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.
