Title:
  network manager constantly asks wireless password before login

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On my laptop, I am connected to "eduroam" wireless network (the global
  wireless network that you can find in most educational institutions).
  The network manager knows my credentials so that I am connected
  immediately AFTER I login to Ubuntu  (I have automated login disabled)
  .

  However, BEFORE I login to my user account, I see a dialogue asking
  for my wireless password. I have to cancel it before I can login.
  After logging in, I don't see the dialogue any more: I connect
  automatically to eduroam.

  This behavior of network manager is meaningless and irritating. There
  should be a way to fix it.
