I've been running the test package (network-manager 0.9.8.4-0ubuntu4~mtrudel1) from comment #38 for about a week. So far I have not seen a single authentication failed dialog. Normally I'd see at least 10 of the dialogs during this time period, if not many more. I have not noticed any bad side effects of the test package.
