Same problem in a Vaio NR using the intel3945 a/b/g iwlwifi3945 driver. There are no problems when using WICD, so
this is a bug on network manager, clearly, this is the description I gave in the forum:

I have the same problem in Hardy, in a vaio laptop with intel 3945 a/b/g.

I connect to the wireless network (either WEP or WPA). If I get disconnected,
or the next time I try to connect, the conection fails. If I go to the
"Edit wireless networks..." there is a different passphrase (actually a sequence
of letters and number) that does not seem to be related to the original one.

If I go Applications->Passwords and encryption keys, chose the password (which
is there), and see it, it is not the password I put and neither the one
that is visible in the "Edit wireless..."

It does not seem that the password is being forgotten, but actually that
some encription is not being well communicated through the system, in such
a way that the password is changed.

The same network works nice with WICD, but I would like to stay with the
standard distribution if possible.

I think this is a bug. I will try to post it as one.
