Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
After recent updates, my Karmic laptop won't connect to my home wifi, which is secured with WPA2 personal/PSK. The problem seems to be that I marked the network as "Available to all users" in the connection editor (so that the network comes up before I log in, so I can log in from another box to debug gdm, etc). In syslog, I see:
Sep 25 13:47:56 roland-x200 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless): access point 'Auto mynet' has security, but secrets are required.
and if I go to the connection editor and try to edit the connection, I get a dialog that says
Error initializing editor
Method "GetSecrets" with signature "sasb" on interface "org.freedeskto
I have another WPA2 enterprise network I use for the office, which I didn't mark as "Available to all users" that works, and if I try to edit it, it works fine (I get a keyring authorization dialog, and then the edit dialog).
So it seems something is wrong with shared secure connections.

I can confirm on a similar configuration, but only after a third or mode cycle of suspend/resume.
