[Bug 900519] [NEW] disconnecting and reconnecting to a known wireless network prompts me for a key

 

Public bug reported:

In precise, if I disconnect from wireless and then try to reconnect to
the same network, I'm prompted for a key for the wireless.  This should
not happen - the key is saved as part of a system-level connection, I
should never need to be prompted for the key.

This is a regression vs. previous releases.
