There is another bug somewhere in the network stack. With my Belkin PreN 
router (MIMO chpset), every connection attempt fails which is initiated 
automatically (asks for a password which almost never works). When I 
wait until the XO gives up connecting and then click on the AP, it 
succeeds 100% (gets the password from networks.cfg). It looks like a big 
fat race condition to me, but unfortunately I do not even know where to 
start looking at the source so I will not fix it that is sure.
