Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-
Just upgraded to Intrepid, running 0.7~~svn2008090
Each time I start up, I get the Network Manager WPA2 password dialogue box. When I enter the password, it then connects correctly, but doesn't remember it.
I have only one keyring - login - and other passwords from that keyring work fine.
This worked without problems on Hardy.

same here, although I triggered it somehow:
It was working OK (upgraded from hardy 2 months ago). Then I played with Application| Accesories| Passwords and Encryptions Key where I saw that the password was written twice (under different but somehow similar headings). applet/ whatever asked me about the password. It works, but it keeps forgetting it and, as the bug reporter said, the password field in the connections editor is empty.
I removed them both, and network manager/
Please ask for more info if needed, thanks.
