pranith: I have the same problem. I connect to a weak access point. When it flakes out, even for a moment, NetworkManager spams that hated dialog box up to the middle of the screen again. The password is correct, it's already prepopulated within the dialog box, but NetworkManager still insists on prompting the user again to connect. Why?
I really wish there was this checkbox: [X] Remember this password and try reconnecting again automatically in the background when connection is temporarily lost, and do not pop up this dialog box again -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824998 Title: NM puts up "Authentication required by Wireless Network" dialog even if previous identical dialog was canceled Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Oneiric annoys me sending messages "Authentication required by Wireless Network" ad infinitum. I did not aks Oneiric to connect to a wireless access point. Lucid was more intelligent and stopped annoying me after a while after I had told it not to connect to this wireless network. I expect that Oneiric GNOME 3 learns at least after the third denied message that I am connected via Ethernet and do not wish a wireless connection.
