Public bug reported: Network Manager is constantly asking me for a WIFI password, as frequently as once a minute. I do not get this problem on my phone, even though it is using the same WIFI network. The problem does not occur on other WIFI networks, so I suspect this is a problem with the WIFI network itself, and is possibly not Network Manager's fault. So this is annoying, but liveable.
However, np-applet is also leaking an absurd amount of memory each time I enter my password and click "Connect". It's ridiculous for it to be using up over 2 GB of resident memory, and to be constantly increasing that number, after running for only a few hours. This is a not a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /network-manager-applet/+bug/684599. In that issue, which has been closed with a "Fix Released" status, the reports are hundreds of megabytes of memory, not gigabytes, so I suspect this is a fundamentally different problem.
