Bug Description

On my laptop, I am connected to "eduroam" wireless network (the global wireless network that you can find in most educational institutions). The network manager knows my credentials so that I am connected immediately AFTER I login to Ubuntu (I have automated login disabled) .

However, BEFORE I login to my user account, I see a dialogue asking for my wireless password. I have to cancel it before I can login. After logging in, I don't see the dialogue any more: I connect automatically to eduroam.

This behavior of network manager is meaningless and irritating. There should be a way to fix it.
