Public bug reported:

I'm not able to reproduce it reliably.

Sometimes when I login to Gnome, WiFi connection cannot be established.
Network manager shows a progress (wheel) on gnome panel, but it fails to
connect during one minute - dialog with preselected credentials to WPA2
connection appears and I have to click on "Connect" again.

dmesg log shows:

Sometimes a next attempt is successful, sometimes I have to perform
further 2-3 attempts so that connection can be established. Then the
network works well.
