Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

Each time when starting up, I find that my wireless network doesn't
work. Launching network-admin shows me that my "network password" (which
is what I type into the text field, not what's in the interfaces file)
has changed to some very long string; I can't see what it changed it
*to* because it's all bullets. So I change it back, but it still doesn't
work. I have to change it back a few times for it to finally catch.

Information I can provide you with at this time:
- using an AMD64 X2 processor, but running an i386 Gutsy
- my essid is "159" and its password is a 12-character string that consists of 
nothing but letters
- using WPA-personal
- network hardware is a Linksys PCI wireless card, combined with a WLAN access 
point, also Linksys.

I'm not sure if I can reproduce by simply logging out and then back in,
because I haven't tried. My guess is, network-admin mistakes the PSK for
the password and generates a new PSK from the old one by mistake.
