Title:
  network-manager suffers from amnesia twice and is high on crack
  through update to oneiric

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have now updated 4 machines (11.04 to 11.10), and all have lost their WiFi-passwords (at least on KDE). And when I re-enter the WiFi-passwords, they still don't remember. I need to enter the passwords under 'Manage Connections ...' or they will still be lost. 
  [I know this is much less worse than what other reported about 'no WiFi' after the upgrade, but still ... . It *is* a piece of crap when one has collected some dozen passwords and they are all gone. A mistake.]

  Secondly, the display of 'Manage Connections ...' (Configure - KDE
  Control Module) is on crack. It shows arbitrary values of 'Last Used',
  like 4 minutes here and now, when I have been online for some hours,
  and under 'Wired', for example, it shows 'Last Used' as 6 hours, when
  it didn't even have had a cable (not to mention connection) plugged in
  for a couple of months.

  If (k)ubuntu wants to conquer anything more than a nerds' marketshare,
  things like this must simply not happen. Not when one upgrades from
  KDE 4.6 to KDE 4.7, at no cost.
