FYI, this bug wasn't initially present on the final 15.04 release, but
has since raised it's ugly head again on 15.04.

Not sure what has changed, but from my previous experience, my bet is
still on `unity-greeter`, even though I'm not sure how exactly it's
causing it.

Title:
  Cannot connect to WiFi with Nvidia GPU using nvidia-331, SSD

Status in System76:
  Triaged
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For some strange reason, we cannot connect to WiFi on hardware with a
  descrete Nvidia GPU (using the nvidia-331 driver) when the system is
  running off a fast SSD.

  Swap the SSD for a platter drive, and things work fine. Likewise, on
  Intel GPU systems, with either an SSD or a platter drive, WiFi works
  fine.

  The failure message is:

  """
  Connection activation failed.
  (1) Creation of object for path '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/2' failed in libnm-glib
  """

  See the attached screenshot.
