I think the problem may have gone away in the meantime. I haven't seen it for a while, and I'm no longer near the network I originally noticed it in. It was the normal network-manager wi-fi password dialog, not the keyring one. And it needed the network's password, not any personal password.
I'm trying to get to the connection in question, but failing: when I double-click on it, in the Wireless pane of the Network Connections, I get an error saying “Error initializing editor / No agents were available for this request.” -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/929403 Title: Wireless login ignores its stored password Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On the Precise beta, every time I log in, the wireless login prompt appears, asking me to log into our password-protected wifi network. This is similar to what you get when you lose wifi signal, *except* that now the password entry box is empty, not pre-filled with the stored password. This could be related to warnings I've been getting from e.g. apt-get about not having a keyring socket to connect to. I would reproduce the exact message, except I don't seem to be getting it now.
