Same symptoms here, but it has always been that way ever since
installing 11.10 -- whenever the machine can't connect to the wireless
access point (there are some genuine wifi issues where I am), it pops up
a new authentication window every few minutes. Could it be the window
is not appropriately application-modal? (or whatever it's called these
days...)

Title:
 the window "Wireless Network Authentication Required" keeps popping up
 until "the end of times" even though the previous one was not closed

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
 Confirmed

Bug description:
 I left the computer turned on for the night and in the morning I found
 not less than 65, yes 65!!!!!! instances of the same window. my system
 was responding very slowly. and closing one took more than a minute,
 so I had to kill it manually. take a look on my screenshots, they look
 really weird.

 this is very annoying!!!!

 solution: this window shouldn't pop up when the previous one was not
 closed!
