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

 

I see InstallationMedia shows Ubuntu 10.04; upgraded to precise 27 days
ago. Was this a formal upgrade test from the last LTS or an upgrade
directly from Oneiric?

Regardless, confirming; this is indeed something that happens apparently
because of the 0.8 to 0.9 migration and handling keyring passwords. I've
noticed it only in those cases though, so it would be really useful to
know the "precise" context of upgrades/updates for this system.

Title:
  disconnecting and reconnecting to a known wireless network prompts me
  for a key

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

Bug description:
  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.
