> Is this still a problem in Precise?

On Precise, I'm seeing a problems that look like at least some of the reports 
here (and also bug #877803, which looks very similar but isn't yet linked). 
Here's a verbose "me too"; the salient features are:
* After a WiFi connection has been dropped or had trouble connecting due to 
marginal signal, Network Manager forgets the password.
** This can happen pretty frequently when I connect to a network at the edge of 
its range.
** (I'd independently formulated a theory similar to one in bug #877803, that 
NM should "only update the keyring after successfully authenticating to the 
wireless network". I haven't checked for basis in fact though.)
* Once this has happened, NM never remembers a passphrase entered to connect to 
a network, even if authentication is then successful. Going into "Edit 
Connections" and entering the passphrase there causes it to be remembered 
(until the next time there's a connection problem).
* I don't have "available to all users" checked for the connection.
** This is deliberate; I want the wireless credentials stored in the 
(encrypted) home directory, rather than on the root filesystem. So the 
workaround given isn't useful for me.

This all matches symptoms reported previously.

This is quite annoying. If there's any other information I can provide
to help get this fixed, please shout.
