Bug Description

I'm experiencing the following issue with network-manager 0.9.10.0-4ubuntu15.1 on a fresh Ubuntu 15.04 installation.

I have a saved wireless Network Connection with the following properties:
- automatically connect to the network when available
- only my user account may connect to the SSID
- BSSID is filled out
- Saved password

When I log in, Network-Manager finds and connects to the existing connection as expected. But when I disconnect and reconnect manually, a new Network Connection is created (using the same name with a '1' at the end) and I'm asked to fill out the wireless password again.

When I do not specify a BSSID on the original Network Connection and manually disconnect and reconnect to the SSID, it works as expected. Network-Manager connects without asking me to enter the password again and no new Network Connection profile is created.
