Public bug reported:
By default, all passwords used in nm-applet are cached by GNOME keyring.
>From Ubuntu 10.10 version of nm-applet, all wireless connections that
are "Dynamic WEP" or "WPA&WPA2 Enterprise" have an option called "Ask
for this password every time". Nevertheless, these network passwords are
cached and they are never asked again, regardless of whether the option
is set or not.
If this option worked, it would be very useful for laptops and portable
devices that do not contain important information, since the user could
use no password or a weak password for the keyring, and at the same time
she could connect to the enterprise network without risk of exposing her
"important" credentials of the enterprise account.
