(Get the code!)
Still repros in 12.10. Also repros in a LiveCD environment, so it's not something with my install.
My computer is a System76 Leopard Extreme. I opened a System76 service request but their technicians cannot reproduce the problem with their hardware.
My girlfriend recently got a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition and it also experiences the problem. Interestingly, it has a similar wireless adapter model (Centrino Advanced-N 6235 rev 24). I am thinking that there may be a compatibility problem between Ubuntu, the Centrino Advanced-N 6230/6235, and something in my environment. Perhaps it doesn't like my wireless router (WNDR3700v2) or the fact that there are about three dozen wireless networks in range.
As another test, I disabled my wireless router itself while the problem was reproing. Much like when I tested unplugging a wired cable, nm-applet showed that it had been disconnected from the wireless and that it was trying to reconnect, but the applet was still unresponsive to user input. As before, killing and restarting nm-applet made it work properly again.
