nm-applet tries to logon with wrong key

Bug Description

As reported in 280956 the network manager looses connection to WPA2 enabled wireless router.

When it asks to reconnect it suggests the wrong key.

The key suggested it the same string as produced with

wpa_passphase myssid mykey

If I change the key suggested to the correct key, logon works.

I presume this might be the reason that the conection breaks in the fiirst place (but have no time to confirm myself).

Maybe the auto reconnect has some flaw.
