Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
* What I expected to happen
I open my netbook lid, Ubuntu resumes from standby, wireless connects immediately
* What actually happened
I open my netbook lid, Ubuntu resumes from standby, Network Manager applet spins for a while and is about to connect to saved network connection, then prompts me for WPA2 password but the password is already filled in, so I have to click Connect to connect. If my password is stored, why can't it just connect automatically? Why make me click Connect?
* The minimal series of steps necessary to make it happen, where step 1 is "start the program"
Step 1. Make computer suspend to RAM (close lid)
Step 2. Make computer resume from suspend (open lid)
Step 3. Wait for wireless to reconnect
I'm using the latest Lucid alpha will all recommended updates installed. This just started happening in the last few days. Broadcom 4312 wireless card. Apport isn't able to connect directly to Launchpad right now, so I'm attaching the offline apport info.
