Same here, my wireless setup had worked for years, and after upgrading
to oneiric (from marverick, not natty), whenever my wireless connection
is not good, I get a password popup to verify/change the password and if
I click wrong, my wireless password is deleted from the 'auto essidname'
entry in network connections (I just had to manually re-enter it but it
should never have been deleted there to start with).

Title:
  network-manager forgets wireless password after I cancel connection

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

Bug description:
  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.
