[Rocko]

Binary package hint: network-manager

Steps to reproduce:

1. Connect to network A.

2. Suspend laptop and move away from network A into network B's area.

3. Resume laptop.

4. Laptop will attempt to connect to network A, although it is no longer present. Eventually it asks for a username and passphrase.

Karmic works better, perhaps because NM disconnects from the network when you suspend. Then it connects to the new network when you resume.

I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug #379201, as it describes the same issue for the same wifi controller, even though it's a different version of NM. As you mentioned, it's working in Karmic now.
