Comment(by carrano):

 Ok, so there is something we know for sure.

 If the networks.cfg is populated, but the XO fails to connect to all of
 the access points listed there, it will not connect to anything (unless
 manually commanded) resulting in the no circle situation. We would expect
 it to at least connect to a simple mesh.

 This behavior is something to fix in NetworkManager.

 This does not account to all of the events described in this ticket, but
 it accounts for the most part of them. It is reproducible and it is
 definitely an unwanted behavior. So I suggest we start by checking NM and
 changing this behavior (failsafe should always be simple mesh). Right?
