[Bug 1270791] Re: Enterprise wifi password is unnecessarily asked on boot

 

I have the same issue, but using Xfce4. Another workaround is to
manually edit /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/eduroam (or
whichever SSID is affected in your case) and to replace "password-
flags=1" with "password=MYPASSWORD", this allows automatic connection
for me.
