Title:
  ubuntu 15.04 wireless network driver doesn't connect: always "trying
  to connect" animation

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 after the network upgrade from 14.10.
  The wireless connection doesn't work on my Notebook Acer Travelmate 5720G

  The cable connection (eg: eth0 interface ) works.

  With Ubuntu 14.10 the wifi connection was ok.

  Network Manager find successfully all the available wireless networks on start-up, but when i try to connect with one of them, Network-manager ALWAYS display the "connecting..." animated icon and doesn't connect (i can't access to internet and not even to my Access point admin page).
  Opening the network-manager menu show the "Disconnect" menu entry (like when you are connected, but you are not connected).

  My access point (Digicom Michelangelo wave 150 C) uses wpa2 encryption.
  I haven't done no harware modifications (i use the same builtin wireless network card provided by my notebook).

  Using the same wireless access point with another notebook (Toshiba
  Tecra with Ubuntu 14.10) everything is ok.

  I have tryed to disconnect/reconnect the wireless, reinstall the
  network-manager.. but with no results.

  ------ Imortant: -------------------
  I have discovered that the "Additional Driver tool" allow to enable/disable an additional driver named "Processor microcode firmware for intel CPU (proprietary)".

  I have done a test running a fresh ubuntu 15.04 live cd: i can't
  connect to wireless, but enabling the above Intel driver i can connect
  !

  Repeating the same test with the installed ubuntu 15.04 i was able to
  connect only a couple of times (i have tryed to enable/disable the
  driver after a kernel update from the Ubuntu update manager, but with
  no result).

  Disabling the Intel driver happen the same situation described above (ie: always "trying to connect")
  ---------------------------------------

  No system crash or other problems are shown.

  Here iwconfig output:
  wlan0     IEEE 802.11abg  ESSID:off/any

  network-manager version installed is:  0.9.10.0-4ubuntu15.1

  Before submitting the bug I have installed all the available updates
  at 15 july 2015 but the problem persist.
