I'm experiencing this bug as well on 14.10 with a WPA2 Enterprise connection. After login it will connect properly.
The solution in #16 does not work for me as it simply doesn't connect even after login.

Title:
  On graphical login, Network Manager window gets in the way

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  New in 13.04, on a laptop with wifi (in addition to being wired), when
  the login gui comes up on boot-up, I can no longer simply type in my
  password to log in.

  This is because a wifi authentication window pops up, asking for a
  password for my wifi connection.  Worse, it does not let me get the
  focus back to the log in screen or anywhere else: I have to explicitly
  click "cancel ".

  After I log in, the wifi password is not needed, since the Manager has
  stored it and connects automatically, using its stored password.

  It may be nice to be able to access the network before logging in, but
  that option should not interrupt my log-in process, and certainly not
  block it!

  Moreover, given that my machine is also connected to wired ethernet
  (by DHCP, no password), it is hardly a high priority to get wifi
  going.

  This problem exists on both of my laptops (very different hardware).
