Bug Description

This is another bug-report for bug #972670 but I don't know how to enter even more reports from apport since I'm the reporter for the bug #972670.

More info's:
Although it's my home network and it seemed to work just fine with 10.10 now with 12.04 the networkmanager keeps asking me for the password, which he remembers correctly. When I press connect it won't do so and brings back the Authentication required dialog. Most of the time it works when I disable the wirless manually on my EeePC 1015PEM via Fn + F2.
But that's not guaranteed.
Sometimes my network won't even be displayed on the networklist.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Incomplete. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org [1]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

If you are comfortable with opening a bug upstream, It would be great if you can report back the upstream bug number in this bug report. That will allow us to link this bug to the upstream report.

It appears that the installer leaves my current network configuration in an incorrect state.
When the problem is present, on booting, it logs in my own network for a few seconds, then it reverts to ask "wireless authentication required" when you input the password, it logs again for a few seconds and then it returns to ask the same question. I deleted my own network, reboot, added it back again and it resolved this problem.
