Okay, I believe I've finally made good progress.. Even if it's quite sad
it happened so late ;)

To get more information, I decided to give the Fedora 16 Live CD a try,
since it was likely broken there too in which case I could provide
useful information to upstream to help with the debugging -- or not
broken, in which case we'd have another path to investigate.

Turns out it works properly there, or at least I can definitely see the
"metric 2" tag I'm expecting on wifi routes (since I don't currently
have everything I need to properly test this at this moment). I checked
and it had libnl1.1 installed. I didn't think of checking whether libnl3
was also installed or what version of NetworkManager was used (though
I'm highly confident it's the same as what we have in Oneiric, for
having compared packaging before).

So; I was able to locally rebuild NetworkManager against libnl1 (libnl-
dev) instead of libnl3 (libnl3-dev), and I can now see the metric on
wifi routes on my system in Oneiric. Once I'm back home I'll properly
test this with wired connected (to ensure proper behavior and that there
are no other side-effects), then most probably upload NM with the
updated Build-Depends early tomorrow morning, EST.

Regardless, I think it's extremely good news (despite the work that was
done for the libnl3 migration), and I'm setting this bug to In Progress
to denote the fact that I have a clear fix being worked on.

Title:
  (oneiric) wireless passwords not remembered

Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  With an up to date (as of 20 Sept) Oneiric beta, I have to re-enter the wireless password for all of my standard networks every time I log in. Expected behaviour is that Ubuntu remembers them.  This is a regression from previous behaviour
