Patrik; this is a design decision for nm-applet and is not likely to change: pointing users to a particular menu is complex subject to change depending on the interface used and confusing for users.

If the dialog is left unattended, NM will after a while trying to connect again, resulting in a new dialog to be displayed. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322387 Title: network monitor doesnt retry connection after waiting for password for too long To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/322387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
