Title:
  Reinstalling Ubuntu wipes out connection info one might have expected
  preserved

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

Bug description:
  I keep /home on a separate partition.

  I upgrade by performing a fresh install.

  Expected behavior:  My internet connection passwords, like most of my
  other settings, will be stored somewhere in /home and so will be
  preserved.

  Actual behavior: The passwords are saved in /etc/NetworkManager
  /system-connections, so a fresh install wipes them out.

  Though I suppose the actual behavior is intended, for the unsuspecting
  it can be a trap.

  Ubuntu 14.04
  Network-manager: 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7
