Bug Description

os: Ubuntu-touch rc-proposed (r530)
device: Nexus4-Mako (but can be reproduces on Bq Aquaris M10)

When one is in range of a previously stored enterprise wifi connection, but the credentials are known to be stail/outdated, upon connecting to that network, the list-item of the selected connection will show as 'connected'. This is ofcourse not actually true.
This can be done both in system-settings --> Wifi and in the dropdownlist of available connections.

What should happen is that upon failing to authenticate to the network, a popup should appear prompting the user to update the password.

Currently, the only way for the user to reconnect is to go into 'Previous networks', delete the connection there, and then register the connection again.

This bug can be steadily reproduced on the Eduroam network in the school where I work. The assumption is however that all Enterprise wifi networks are effected.

Below is my .cache/upstart/indicator-network.log
That doesn't show much afaict but it was requested:
