[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#495384: network-manager-gnome: sometimes waits indefinitely for "network key" until one removes wireless entry

[Mikhail Ramendik]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: important

In my setup, there is one wireless network with WPA-Personal authorization and a password. This network is saved
in the wireless networks list of gnome network manager (nm-applet, started under icewm).

Most of the time it connects fine. But occasionally, it will fail to autoconnect. Then when I try to connect 
manually, it shows the "connecting" state and never connects. The mouse-over hint says "waiting for network key".
Trying again, or rebooting, does not fix the issue - it still can not connect.

If I go into the network list, remove the network, reboot, and try again, it connects fine - and will work again 
for some time, intil the next similar failure.
