Comment (by ywwg):

 I'm attaching three logs.  One is various attempts to connect to the wifi
 with the bridge on, the other off.  When DHCP works, it works very
 quickly.  I can tell it's not going to work if it tries DHCPDISCOVER four
 times.

 If I am having trouble getting dhcp, I either try rmmoding usb8xxx or
 restarting networkmanager.

 There seem to be some problems with the "run a few tests" part of your
 request.  The first time I want to connect to  a network, I just have to
 click the appropriate icon and it starts blinking.  However if I try to
 reconnect, either by manually restart networkmanager or by rmmoding
 usb8xxx, the mesh view doesn't work correctly.  I can still click the
 network, but it doesn't start blinking and I don't see any indication in
 tail that network manager has seen the signal.

 Furthermore, after I restart NM I get duplicates of all my networks
 popping up on the screen.

 It looks like I have to restart sugar to restore the proper behavior of
 the mesh view.
