Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates.

I'm going to close this bug report as their is nothing else we can do
with this old report in a now unsupported version of Ubuntu.  If you
still have this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 or higher, please do reopen or
report a new bug.

Title:
  Network Manager sometimes fails to reconnect to WPA protected wi-fi
  network

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I regularly connect to two different wi-fi networks that use WPA/WPA2
  Personal security. When the laptop accidentally loses connection to
  the network, it sometimes fails to re-establish the connection and
  asks for the password repeatedly. The only solution to fix that is to
  reboot.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Connect to a wi-fi network with WPA/WPA2 Personal security,
  2. Accidentally lose connection (by moving around with the laptop for example),
  3. Network Manager attempts to reconnects, fails and asks for the network's password again,
  4. Enter the password and click Connect,
  5. Network Manager fails to connect and goes back to step 3.

  Expected behaviour:
  NM should reconnect without any issue.

  Note that this would never happen with 12.10 on the same machine so it
  looks like a regression.
