Wireless passwords lost when 8.04Beta is shut down.

[jsonder]

The current wireless code doesn't save passwords when Ubuntu (Beta) is shut down. When restarted, one must go to System-->NetworkSettings-->unlock and then Connections and remove a very long, wrong password, and enter the correct password to access a WPA personal protected wireless access point.

I do not expect to have to do this. Ubuntu 7.10 did not have any problems with this Linksys WAP54G.

Is this an increased security thing?

Hi there
can you reproduce this behavior using a new user account under an up-to-date Hardy Heron system?

thanks in advance.

Sorry to say, the answer is no, a new account (either desktop or
administrator) has the same problem. I've attached 2 screen capture
images: network.png shows what keeps coming up that is wrong (password
or pass phrase that it shows is 4 times the length shown in the png;
network1.png shows what should be appearing. After manually resetting
the password and reconfiguring wlan0 properties, everything works until
I shut down again.

Hardware info:
Dell Inspiron E1505
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11 a/g Mini Card for Inspiron 6400/E1505
Bios Dell A17 (did the update to see if that would fix the problem)
RAM 2 GIG Crucial
Linksys WAP54G

I added the wireless access point for the kids when they come to visit
and for the OLPC computer, which has no problems with the setup. The
OLPC is my traveling computer (not a lot of room in a motorcycle
tailbag).

Thanks for trying to fix this,
