Thanks... I figured that was going to be the answer, but was hoping someone
would just write-back "oh, it's this..."
:-(

Here <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306855>'s one I started in
UbuntuForums, here <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/468492>'s my
Launchpad bug, here<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/401272>'s
one of the others, and I've attached some of command outputs specific to my
system.

Thanks, again.
