[Bug 921611] Re: 11.10 (oneiric) does not allow to replace wrong WAP password

 

Not so fast!
Your explanation would be correct if the WAP was in the list. Though it isn't. It seems it only will be entered once a successful connection has been established.

Title:
  11.10 (oneiric) does not allow to replace wrong WAP password

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

Bug description:
  I have tried to connect to a WAP with a wrong password (key). Then I
  rebooted to W7, to show the owner of the WAP.  It turnmed out that I
  had the uppercase/lowercase wrong. I connected successfully with W7.
  Then I rebooted to Ubuntu (dual-boot), and there it kept on trying to
  connect with the wrong key, but never came back with the key
  (password) prompt. I tried some 7 times. Just timing out and
  disconnecting. I tried to delete the wrong key (edit connections), but
  since it was never connected, it did not show that last connection. So
  I could not remove (delete) that connection, and yet it had the wrong
  password that it is trying from now on for eternity. So it looks like.
  At least, it doesn't ask for the key any longer. Just trying to
  connect in circles. Ubuntu bug 1 is there for a reason, alas.
