Public bug reported: I've found a quite easy-to-reproduce bug (provided you have a Ralink RT2860 wireless card). On a fresh boot, I am unable to connect to an encrypted wireless connection (WPA2), if I'm on battery power. Attached in the dmesg is things I don't quite understand, but they're probably helpful to somebody. If there is other information I can provide, let me know.
Steps to reproduce: 1) Remove power plug from netbook (run it on battery) 2) Boot laptop, log in, 3) Attempt to connect to WPA2 encrypted wireless 4) Provide correct credentials to nm-applet dialog box asking for encryption key 5) Wait about 30 seconds 6) Repeat steps 4-6 until you give up and plug in, reboot. I did try this while connecting to open wireless (no security) while doing the same steps as above, and was able to connect fine.
