Title:
  Network-Manager won't connect to wifi with  n-channels

  Confirmed

  Problem with wifi connection.

  Behavior in 13.04, 13.10, using laptop's built'in wifi adapter (wlan0, see diagnostics below):
  Connection is ok, in fact so fast that the laptop is connected by the time lightdm shows login screen.

  Behavior in 14.04 LTS:
  With laptop's built-in wifi adapter (wlan0) - prompt for password (for secure WEP-Personal network), attempt to connect, prompt for password again, attempt again, repeat.  Never connects, process only interruptible by user intervension (hit "Cancel").

  Same result in the case of a non-secured "open" network on same AP -
  connection fails (except no prompt for password obviously).

  With USB wifi dongle plugged in (wlan1) - connection is quick and
  flawless.

  Expected behavior: network-manager should connect with the laptop's
  built-in wan adapter (wan0) ***as it did in the previous versions
  mentioned above, same laptop, same hardware, sam AP, same
  network(s).***

  Some diagnostics:
