Also tried back-porting `policykit-1` (which needed a back-port of
`glib2.0` and `gobject-introspection`)... still no luck.

But at this point, the delta between Utopic and Vivid is still pretty
small, so I feel this is a promising avenue, at least as far as shot-
gunning goes.

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.
