Public bug reported: When I start up from a Ubuntu 16.04 Live CD, I do not get a wireless network connection, instead it seems to see my USB device (a Belkin F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter) as a "wired connection".
If I do 'service network-manager restart', or unplug and replug the device, then it sets it up with the rt2800usb driver, gives it a wireless connection, and allows me to connect to wifi routers as normal.
