An issue with wicd (an alternative to network manager) which is possibly
related to the issue reported here has been reported at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/1084380

In the case of wicd it was found that wpa_supplicant routinely timed out
before a WiFi connection has been completed successfully.  This
triggered endlessly repeated wicd connection attempts, each time
resulting in an erroneous and misleading "BAD PASSWORD" error message.
Increasing the value of the time-out parameter governing wpa_supplicant
appears to have resolved this issue in wicd.

In the case of network manager, quite possibly a similar time-out for
wpa_supplicant triggers the repeated popping up of the panel requesting
the WPA2 authorization password even though this password is already
known to network manager.
