I just discovered something that may be interesting/useful for debugging this issue:
I have several networks where the password is always lost (e.g. after suspend and resume). I would always be prompted for the password when connecting, and nothing would be pre-filled in the password box. It's not available to all users (deliberately), only to me. Following the above comments, I went into the Network Manager applet and selected this network, and then the Security tab. To my surprise, there was no password stored on this tab. I entered the password here, saved and closed the network details, and went in to edit them again; the password was still saved. And now I can connect to that network with no problems. So it seems that the Network Manager applet is unable to save the password in whatever repository is used to populate the security details on this tab. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854833 Title: NM asks for Wi-Fi password every time I log in, or every minute, if "Available to all users" not checked; forgets password too Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: With an up to date (as of 20 Sept) Oneiric beta, I have to re-enter the wireless password for all of my standard networks every time I log in.
