Public bug reported: I regularly connect to two different wi-fi networks that use WPA/WPA2 Personal security. When the laptop accidentally loses connection to the network, it sometimes fails to re-establish the connection and asks for the password repeatedly. The only solution to fix that is to reboot.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect to a wi-fi network with WPA/WPA2 Personal security, 2. Accidentally lose connection (by moving around with the laptop for example), 3. Network Manager attempts to reconnects, fails and asks for the network's password again, 4. Enter the password and click Connect, 5. Network Manager fails to connect and goes back to step 3. Expected behaviour: NM should reconnect without any issue. Note that this would never happen with 12.10 on the same machine so it looks like a regression.
