Happens to me as well on a Lenovo Thinkpad T420. This is really annoying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877803 Title: network-manager forgets wireless password after I cancel connection Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I am using my netbook in a different room from where the router is and have a weak connection, sometimes network-manager has a hard time connecting and prompts me for a password, with the password field filled with the correct password (although hidden). Normally I hit "cancel" because it's unlikely to succeed, and a few minutes later I try to connect again by clicking on my wireless network through the panel applet. After upgrading to Oneiric, if I hit cancel, network- manager automatically deletes the password, which is no longer to be found in the "Edit Connections" dialog, so I have to go find out the password and enter it again.
