Public bug reported:
When adding a new wireless connection, if an incorrect setting selection
is made the connection fails to add, as expected, with a warning (e.g.
incorrect authentication) - this is the expected behaviour. However, the
connection name gets saved under Settings > WiFi > Previous networks.
This means if you, say, enter an incorrect password three times when
trying to add a connection but get it right the fourth time, there will
be four entries of the network you were trying to add, each suffixed by
a number. The consequence is that in future the device fails to connect
to that network when it is in range. Current solution is to forget all
entries of the network and add it again (and get all settings right on
the first try).
