This happens to me as well, with my network which is set to be "available to all users". Whenever the association with my router fails for any reason (temporary radio interference, for example, or the router is in the process of rebooting). Network manager sets its state to disconnected and refuses to try to reconnect to my network. My network is shown in the dropdown list, but clicking on it just causes nm to pop up the "disconnected" notification immediately.

The only way I have found to reconnect to my network, once this has happened, is to go into the connection editor and re-enter the WPA passphrase. When I go to re-enter the passphrase, I find the "password" box empty.

Failure to connect using the saved password should not cause NM to forget that password.
