When using the Network applet from System Settings, NetworkManager
writes this to syslog:

<info> (eth2): device state change: prepare -> config (reason 'none') [40 50 0]
<info> Activation (eth2/wireless): access point 'SQT-14490' has security, but secrets are required.
<info> (eth2): device state change: config -> need-auth (reason 'none') [50 60 0]
<info> Activation (eth2) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) complete.
<warn> No agents were available for this request.
<info> (eth2): device state change: need-auth -> failed (reason 'no-secrets') [60 120 7]
<warn> Activation (eth2) failed for access point (SQT-14490)
<info> Marking connection 'SQT-14490' invalid.
<warn> Activation (eth2) failed.
<info> (eth2): device state change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none') [120 30 0]
<info> (eth2): deactivating device (reason 'none') [0]

The Network settings dies later if I leave it open:

kernel: [10425.006749] gnome-control-c[10284]: segfault at aaaaaac2 ip
b005ff29 sp bfcf9580 error 4 in libnetwork.so[b0054000+15000]

I therefore reassign to NetworkManager, this is not limited to nm-
applet.

** Package changed: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) => network-manager

Title:
  Dies connecting to wireless with ERROR:nm-
  utils.c:1231:nm_utils_security_valid: assertion failed: (have_ap)

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

Bug description:
  This is a laptop where I've previously connected to another wireless
  network (over a different router of the same model) successfully.

  Now with a different router operating in another broadband connection,
  when I try to connect to the wifi it provides, nm-applet disappears
  from indicator area. If I run it from the command-line it outputs
  this:

  jani@amilo:~$ nm-applet 
  Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
  ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
  ** Message: No keyring secrets found for ElisaKoti48/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.
  **
  ERROR:nm-utils.c:1231:nm_utils_security_valid: assertion failed: (have_ap)
  Aborted

  Note that it doesn't actually ask me for the key but apparently fails
  when trying to do so. With the previous wireless network I was in, the
  key *was* requested, and the file describing that connection is still
  in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/.

  After doing the above once, there's also a definition for the non-
  functioning connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/, and
  all subsequent tries to start nm-applet immediately end in the error
  and the applet vanishing. If I delete the definition it has created
  for this non-functioning connection, the applet does appear again, but
  again when I try to connect to this network, it dies and won't come
  back until I rm the definition file.
