[Bug 871728] [NEW] network manager forgets wifi password on suspend/restart

 

Public bug reported:

I've been keeping up with the oneirc updates, but within the past couple
of days, the network manager has forgotten my wifi password, and every
time I suspend or restart the computer I have to enter the password
again.

Looking at the password and keys setting application, there no longer
appears to be a 'Network Secret' saved for my home (or work) wifi
account, although there are some other less-used networks still in
there.
