[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#681142: network-manager: remember the user's authentication, like sudo

[Stefan Monnier]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.4.0-5
Severity: normal

If I right-click => "Edit connections" then select "wireless", then
select a network, then click "edit".  I get two problems here:
- 2 boxes pop up, one for the edits, one for authentication.
  Depending on the time of the day, either the edit or the password
  box gets to be on top, so I sometimes have to look for the password
  box underneath the other, to be able to authenticate.
- the authentication box always pops up, even if I went through the
  exact same steps 5 seconds earlier.  "sudo" handles this better by
  remembering if the user authenticated recently.
