Bug Description

On Ubuntu 11.10 :
Each time I reboot/suspend my computer, I have to re-enter the wifi password in the network-manager properties.

And when I want to connect a wifi network, I don't have window asking me for the password, I need to go to network-manager, then wifi option, then I select the network, and enter the password.

So this looks a lot like bug 854833; so I'll mark it as a duplicate.

As a workaround, please try as I've written in bug 854833: edit the connection to add your password, and make sure the "Available to all users" checkbox is checked.

Thanks!
