I filed the nitty gritty details as this bug against NetworkManager even though
I don't know that it's a Network Manager problem. I don't see any kernel
messages at all that indicate the kernel is mad or confused.

The gist is that if WiFi comes up at boot time, it works fine for the entirety
of that boot "session". If I reboot, maybe it works again or maybe it doesn't
(non-deterministic); and if it doesn't work, I can't get it to work it's a
total fail. By fail, not only does it not connect to my network, it doesn't see
any networks at all. Turning the WiFi radio off then on doesn't fix it.
b43 wifi has been flakey since maybe kernel 3.11 for me, so it may very well
just be time to give up on that and go with the proprietary driver *sigh* in
particular because I only get 802.11g with b43. No wireless-N. So if there are
opinions on being sane and just giving up, I'd accept that also.
If you've got strong wifi knowledge, probably best to reply in the bug if I can
enhance the quality of the bug reporting. If it's throwing spaghetti at a wall
advice, I'll go for that too, but probably best to keep it on the list until
there's something useful to report in the bug.
