This is the same root cause as other bugs. The problem is that NetworkManager keeps displaying the "Authentication required for wireless network" dialog box, even though there's nothing wrong with the previous password. Since there is no way on a Wi-Fi network to tell the difference between "out of range" and "wrong password", the user should be given the opportunity to make this choice, instead of NetworkManager just blindly assuming the password was wrong.
I really wish there was this checkbox: [X] Do not show this dialog box again. Remember this password, and try reconnecting again automatically in the background whenever this connection is lost. I can always use the menu to change the password if that truly was the cause of the problem. Please do not interrupt my work every few minutes with this senseless dialog box.
