[Bug 1048559] [NEW] Password is needlessly asked on wireless reconnect

[Maarten Bezemer]

Public bug reported:

First, I tried to use ubuntu-bug -w and clicked on the window (see
attachment) to report this bug, but it complained about non-official
packages, hence my manual report. So please let me know if there is not
enough information.

The actual report: When I use a wireless connection, it sometimes (needs
to) reconnect. When this happens a windows is displayed (I suppose to
ask for my credentials), see attachment. I have stored my credentials
and turning the wireless off and on, works to reconnect, so they are
correctly stored as well. This is my first problem.

The second problem is with the window itself, as it is obviously of no
use. Clicking OK just reopens it, pressing cancel disconnects the
connection and enabling/disabling 'Show password' does nothing.
