Comment 5 for bug 273336

I am having the same issue on two laptops. A T30 and a T41 Thinkpad.

The T30 (mine) was upgraded using the network upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. When using 8.04, Network Manager worked perfectly. No issues.
The T41 was built using a clean install of 8.10.

Both are up-to-date as far as updates go. On both systems, the behavior is as follows.

1) cold boot computer
2) login as user from main login screen
3) Network Manager fires up automatically
    a) blue swirl spinner spins
    b) bottom dot lights up green
    c) top dot does not light up
    d) 15-20 seconds pass
    e) Dialog box opens asking for my WPA password for my selected network.
        i) Password is already pre-filled (in HEX I think)
        ii) there is a cancel and "Connect" button
    f) If I click "Connect"
        i) a-b happens again
        ii) this time the connection comes up and I get the blue bars.
4) If I logout and then back in my connection comes up
5) if I reboot, the behavior described in #3 repeats.

Please let me know what log information I can provide to help troubleshoot this issue.
