network-manager keeps asking for wifi password can't connect to any wifi

I've experienced this problem since last month on the current kernel and the one before that. The only solution I could find through trial and error is to switch to a non-default kernel (like lowlatency) but that of course breaks a bunch of other stuff. Also, network USB tethering won't work on the generic kernel for some reason, and again a non-default kernel solves the issue.

A google search for "ubuntu keeps asking for wifi password" shows that this problem is quite common. Hopefully this will get fixed cause if you can't use wifi you can't use your computer.
