This is happening for me as well on Ubuntu 15.04 (upgraded from 14.04 through 14.10).
Interestingly, i changed my wifi-card since first experiencing this, but it did not help. It had an rt2x00 driven USB adapter before and now run an Intel based PCIe card with exactly the same behaviour: Directly after boot, NM shows a connection but i cannot visit any website. I have to manually disconnect and connect again to get internet access. My network adapter: 05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev bb) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434986 Title: Not working network connection after boot Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Directly after boot the network connections are not working. I am connected and have an IP address, but I cannot establish a connection with any Internet server. I have the impression it is related to thee DNS lookup, which waits forever for a result. Cycling the connection (disconnect->reconnect) seems to fix the problem for some time. I am reporting this against network-manager, but I am not sure if it is directly in network manager or if it is systemd related. With 14.10 everything worked perfectly.
