[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#677482: network-manager forgets wireless password after unrelated connect failures

[David Gibson]

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

Dear Maintainer,

I use NetworkManager on my local, WPA2 protected wireless network
amongst others.  Usually it remembers the correct WPA2 password to
connect.  Howerver, if NetworkManager fails to connect to the network
a couple of times for apparently any reason (e.g. router is rebooting,
or moved out of range) then it forgets the stored password.  It will
then prompt for the password eveyr time, until it is manually
re-entered from the Edit Connections... window.

This behaviour is extremely irritating.
