I use The GNOME desktop and the network manager does not save the profile settings
either. Unfortunateley I change them each time I go to a new network. In terms of
wi-fi look for some software (like wifi radar), which allows easy access and auto detection
of wireless networks. Alternatively if you feel up to it you could write a little script that
would enable you to set it to your preferences.

For help on making a script see this page on the ubuntu wiki:
