Did the apport-collect as requested. Note upstream says when they receive the authenticate from Ubuntu the kernel connects with no problem. As in the dmesg excerpt below, Ubuntu should have issued the authenticate at time 52 but did not. At time 371 I gave up waiting and connected manually to the hidden network, WPA security.
Following the dmesg is a syslog excerpt showing a similar gap between time 40:06 and 44:29 Do note this is a regression, booting Ubuntu 12.04 from another partition has no trouble. Looks like the last thing on dmesg at time 52 is something about Nautilus doing a connect to the USB hard drive. No idea why it does that, I haven't even started the file manager, but I am booted from the USB hard drive.

Systems Settings Network is blank where it should have the network name. That's a bug. Correctly says wired network is unplugged. Network Applet Edit Connections says wired connection last used 5 minutes ago. Has not been plugged in since yesterday. That's a bug. Network Applet Edit Connections says wireless connection last used 2 hours ago. Not true, last used 5 minutes ago. That's a bug. Selecting Network Applet Edit Connections Wireless Security tab should ask for pathword authorization to set/change password. It does not. That's a bug. What the Wireless Security tab does is just sit there for a couple minutes then (60 to 120 seconds) the menu appears. All the correct data is already there. Save, close. No changes made. Wireless WPA still does not connect even though it was running before reboot. "connect automatically" does not. That's a bug. Systems Settings Network still shows no network name while network applit edit connections shows the correct name. Why don't they both show the same network name? That's a bug. After 20 minutes, it suddenly does show the network name. Some time after that the wireless WPA connects. No new information was used. It already had network name, security type, and password when it rebooted. "cinnect automatically" does not. That's a bug. Any clue what to do to "automatically connect"? This is a "Regression" since Precise works very usably on the same hardware.
