Description Felipe Sateler 2011-12-02 20:31:01 UTC 
If for some reason the connection is dropped, nm-applet asks for the key, connects and then procedes to forget it. After that, every time I try to connect to the same network I have to input the key again. I have to go to the connection settings to type it and only then will nm-applet remember the key.

I'm on Debian, version 0.9.2.0-1

NM is better now about differentiation "password incorrect" from other failure modes
