Public bug reported:

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.
