Public bug reported: When I launch nm-connection-editor, and edit wifi connection with "WPA & WPA2 Enterprise", and add an SSL key file and the password, then several actions can cause the password to vanish, making me re-enter it every time I want to use the connection:
* sudo service network-manager restart * hibernating the computer * reboot That's very annoying, and requiring me to type the password every time (where people could see it) doesn't add any security.
