Unable to GUI login with wired network enabled and prompt "enter password to unlock your login keyring" if wired disabled

Question

Ubuntu desktop login went wrong after a normal shutdown.
Problems:

Ubuntu cannot login with wired connection enabled.

(On login screen) I clicked on username and entered password, then desktop freezes.
Terminal (Alt+F3) is fine.
After two minutes or so, Ubuntu returned to login screen, with a toast prompted: something like network authentication failure (with a wired connection icon)

Ubuntu can login with wired connection disabled.

I disabled wired connection at login screen, and was able to login normally.
After login, I enabled wired connection and it is working.
When I try to open Chrome, "Enter password to unlock your login keyring" prompted.
Existing question like: How can I stop being prompted to unlock the 'default' keyring on boot? is irrelevant to my problem. Auto login is disabled and I entered password during login.

System information:

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS / 6.8.0-51-generic
Wired connection is configured as DHCP in Setting, without "Security" options enabled.
dmesg has some errors: (wlp15s0 is the wireless adapter)

journalctl has some errors: (I don't know if there is/how to find the actual fatal log that is related to login failure)
This js backtrace repeated many times:

                                                   _onProxySignal/<@/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com/appIndicator.js:228:56

And this repeated a few times:

NetworkManager[2057]: <warn>  [1746435001.3139] device (wlp15s0): Activation: (wifi) association took too long, failing activation
...
NetworkManager[2057]: <warn>  [1746435001.3142] device (wlp15s0): Activation: failed for connection 'XXX'

I would like to address the root cause (component) of the login failure and fix it.
