On start-up, the WiFi notification always shows a failure to connect to this particular network in my university which uses WPA (PEAP) encryption. But after it reports failing to connect on start-up, it eventually connects to the network automatically. This would be a non-issue, however, KMail thinks this means the server is unavailable and my email accounts are not automatically synced, even after the establishment of a stable wireless connection. I have missed a few days worth of emails at times before I realised what was happening. My current workaround this problem is to manually restart the connection to my email servers in KMail though it would be nice to figure out what the possible root problem is.
