[Bryan Quigley <bryan.quigley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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:
  WPA network connection always triggers password confirmation

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Every time I boot or resume my machine at the office, where there is a
  WPA network, I am prompted for the authentication details and forced
  to connect manually. The username and password are automatically
  filled in from the last successful attempt, and clicking 'connect' is
  successful.

  However, this reveals an underlying bug, probably to do with the
  consistent failure of the first connection attempt owing to timeouts
  being hit (extra startup time when first initialised?)

  This may have the same underlying cause as
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/1084380 and
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1084364
  that wpa_supplicant takes a while to connect, and network-manager
  doesn't appreciate that it needs more time under certain
  circumstances, like the first connection attempt.

  Fixing this will make ubuntu MUCH BETTER for many many people I
  suspect, where they are permanently struggling with no network and a
  popup window where no such failure was necessary - e.g. the network
  and adapter are all fine.
