Public bug reported:

When I am using my netbook in a different room from where the router is
and have a weak connection, sometimes network-manager has a hard time
connecting and prompts me for a password, with the password field filled
with the correct password (although hidden). Normally I hit "cancel"
because it's unlikely to succeed, and a few minutes later I try to
connect again by clicking on my wireless network through the panel
applet. After upgrading to Oneiric, if I hit cancel, network-manager
automatically deletes the password, which is no longer to be found in
the "Edit Connections" dialog, so I have to go find out the password and
enter it again.
