[Bug 1034989] Re: Wi-Fi doesn't connect; disconnecting causes "Connection Activation Failed (32)" dialog; reboot usually fixes it

 

I have to manually delete and re-add my Wifi every time I turn my laptop
on or resume it. I have to have it plugged in at all times, and awake,
to keep the connection up. The only was I can reconnect is to completely
wipe the config files for my network, then add it back using the
"Connect to a Hidden WiFi" option. I am running Ubuntu 15.04.

Title:
  Wi-Fi doesn't connect; disconnecting causes "Connection Activation
  Failed (32)" dialog; reboot usually fixes it

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In 12.10 I have noticed that when I boot up often times network-
  manager sits in a loop trying to connect to my wifi and when I then
  click the dialog and click disconnect to end the looping attempt and
  try to restart the connecting process I get an error

  "Connection Activation Failed (32)"

  When this bug occurs the only way for me to connect wirelessly is to:

  1.) Connect to my Guest Wireless SSID?
  2.) Reboot and try again (usually resolves and allows me to connect)

  
  I know that its not the wireless hardware (AP) or even signal levels since this has occurred on two different routers both of which were high-end dual-band routers.
