I tried manually with iwconfig and dhclient to rule out NetworkManager,
and confirmed it still happens. It seems setting the ESSID does not work
correctly, only succeeding around one out of 5-10 times.

Here's a quick test command that I used:
sudo killall dhclient; sudo ifconfig wlan0 down; sleep 1; sudo ifconfig wlan0 
up; sleep 1; sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid Wippies ap 0A:1D:19:AE:D2:B5; sleep 1; 
sudo iwconfig; sudo dhclient wlan0

- When the ESSID is not set the command exits normally but dhclient gets no 
address.
- When the ESSID is set correctly, dhclient gets an address and everything else 
works.

** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)
