Right now, nsWifiWorker.js assumes that connect_to_supplicant always returns before the supplicant has made its connection to the network. If this isn't the case, then it doesn't do any sort of DHCP/DNS stuff, leaving the network in an inconsistent state (up but with no IP). There's an easy fix for this that I'll attach. I had to hack my version of nsWifiWorker.js to even test this fix (since for me connect_to_supplicant always does return before we connect) so if this doesn't work for you, let me know.
Attached patch Proposed fix (deleted) — Splinter Review
This should be pretty straightforward. I also took this opportunity to get rid of the debugging "automatically connect to Mozilla Guest" code. If you think we should leave it in for now, let me know.
