Yes, Quantal doesn't connect and must be manually connected through system settings, even though it remembers the network name, encryption, etc. When it boots up, where it should connect, it says "disconnect" which does show up in the many many messages from network manager on the syslog. Once network manager (or the kernel, I wouldn't know) asks for authenticate it goes right through.
Since Raring is all setup to recognize hidden wireless, the network, and the encryption key it should try that first off. Instead it seems to do a knee jerk disconnect and then never even tries to connect with the information it already has. Where is the spot in the nm script that says go do the connect and authenticate? Why isn't it being issued? Let me go check Precise again. I usually run Raring but do have backup Quantal and Precise partitions.

Manuall connect (to report the bug) then follows.
