Bug Description
System:
-------
– Fresh clean installation of xubuntu 12.10 using the xubuntu .iso from the official xubuntu web site, fully updated using the xubuntu Software Updater.
– network-manager fully set up for an internet connection using WiFi with WPA2-Personal, including SSID and WPA2 password. Boxes "automatically connect" and "available to all users" ticked. In Settings > Start-Up Applications, the network-manager box is ticked.
– The internet connection through this access point is routinely used by other PCs (including ubuntu 11.04 and xubuntu 11.10, all using the same settings for network-manager) without any connectivity or stability problems. Access point signal strength is over 80%.
Bug:
----
– On system start-up, network-manager attempts to connect.
– After a significant delay, a panel pops up requesting authorization. The WPA2 password is already filled in in this panel and it is correct.
– Press the authorization panel's connect button. The panel disappears. The network indicator icon rotates.
– After a significant delay, the authorization panel pops up again.
– Press the authorization panel's connect button again.
– This cycle may repeat itself several more times, until network-manager finally makes a successful connection.
What should happen:
-------------------
On start-up, network-manager should establish the internet connection without any user interaction and without delay.
