It appears there's a clash between whatever it is that uses and updates /etc/network/interfaces and NetworkManager; several updates ago, I noticed that, on bootup, the machine attempted to connect with eth0, even though there was nothing connected to it, and then with wlan0, which, at home, worked, because it connected to my secure home network. In the office, the same thing happened, except wlan0 couldn't connect (duh!). I edited /etc/network/interfaces, and was surprised to find in there my home network wireless key, in plaintext! I commented out the 'auto eth0' and 'auto wlan0', on the assumption that that's what was causing the attempt to connect at bootup, and removed the essid and key of my home network. I rebooted, left my office, and, on return a few minutes later, found I was connected to the wireless network! Until then, NetworkManager was not even finding any wireless networks. (All this is AFTER I've upgraded NetworkManager to the one with the bugfix.[1]) Hope that helps someone.
