Comment(by carrano):

 There is something that is easily reproducible and may help understand
 what's going on.

 (1) If you connect to an AP, the networks.cfg is populated and the next
 time you reboot, the XO will try to connect to this very AP.

 (2) If this AP is not available (you turned it off or just moved to other
 location) and there is no other AP in the networks.cfg, the result will be
 no connection to anything and the symptom will be the absence of the
 circle as described here.

 This seems related to the initialization routine of NetworkManager and
 will happen to any build.
