I can confirm this is happening to me too.

I have selected "Manual Configuration" for network manager and entered my details for my WPA2 network. Initially this will work fine until I reboot when I lose my connection. Going back to my static configuration I see that it has reverted to WPA and my password is much longer than it should be. I have to change BOTH details and then I can reconnect fine. If I re-enter the network configuration dialog between holding a successful connection and rebooting, I can see that the details have reverted. This appears to demonstrate that network manager is refusing to remember these two details correctly whatsoever.

I have used a DHCP configuration a little and found that this works fine for me and seems to remember my password.

I have reproduced this problem on two different machines with the latest occurrence happening on a clean install of Hardy and with no prior network configuration.

My hardware is:
Wireless Adapter: Intel 3945ABG
Router: Netgear DG834Gv3

Can anyone confirm this is only happening with Intel based network adapters? (my loaded modules are iwl3945, iwlwifi_mac80211).
