Public bug reported: Sometimes, nm-applet spams my screen with authentication dialogs for one of my wireless networks. Even if I enter the right passphrase in the authentication dialog or click 'Cancel', the dialog goes away for a short while, but then reappears a few minutes later. Sometimes it opens like 10 dialogs at the same time and at other times I can't even close the dialog.
This is flaky behavior I have observed for several cycles of Ubuntu and I would really like to see it fixed.
