Does this syslog output tell you why I'm not connecting to my wireless router?

What does it mean when the circles with the blue comet trail going

around and when I hover over them I get the popup text:


If you check /var/log/syslog, you should see more verbose messages
from NetworkManager that will tell you what's going on.



What do you make of this from the /var/log/syslog?
This machine is able to connect almost immediately when booted to another OS. 
Does this stream indicate what the problem might be?
