Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

After returning from manual network configuration, which doesn't work per this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/201090, If I configure network-manager to use Roaming mode, and select my SSID from the list in the network-manager applet, and fill in my WPA key it appears to connect, but the connection strength bars remain empty and I don't get a connection. If I wait long enough, it might connect, but then it sporadically prompts me for my WPA key every 30 seconds or so. After putting in my WPA key, I get an IP address, but I will lose my connection and have to resupply my key over and over.

The only way I can get connected and stay connected is to configure network-manager to use roaming mode, and to restart my computer. After Ubuntu boots up, I fill in my keyring password and it will stay connected.
