Bug Description

Dialog Window: "Wireless Network Authentication Required"
keeps popping up after I wrongfully tried to connect to random wi-fi network I don't have access to.

I keep pressing cancel, however the message sporadically re-appears after few minutes.

Correct behavior should be: When user presses cancel, NM stops trying to connect to Wi-Fi network that it requested authentication for.

I have just spotted another bug - it asks me for identification of Wi-Fi network I have at home that is with default name: "linksys". At my present location there is another Wi-Fi network "linksys" NM tries to authenticate against and asks me for password for that one too.

uname -a:
Linux Hyperion 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:31:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ubuntu version: 12.10
Network Manager Version: 0.9.6.0-0ubuntu7

Please let me know if you need any further information, and thank you for the hard work making Linux happen.

Best regards,
Nikolay Georgiev

AFAIK this got fixed in Raring; closing as Fix Released.

It's pretty intrusive changes, so it's not likely we can publish those to Quantal.

Changed in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu):
status: New → Fix Released
