Thanks for your bug report,

I am having a bit of trouble reproducing this bug. Upon connecting to a WPA PERSONAL network and entering a bogue password mine just refuses to connect and eventually times out without saving a password to the keyring. Upon trying to reconnect I am again prompted for a password. Deleting the password from the NM-applet also did not cause a crash, I was just prompted to enter the password again and it resaved it.

Test case #3 I was able to confirm however, forcefully changing the password in the keyring and then attempting to connect to a network causes NM-applet to do nothing, it won't connect, won't say it's failing to connect... it just sits there waiting for another action. I would assume this effect could also be duplicated by changing a password in your router settings.

Can you please include what version of Ubuntu/Nm-applet you are using? If the two problems I can't reproduce still occur I would suggest filing them as seperate bugs. I will post name to match the one part I can confirm.

To reproduce:

1) Connect to wireless network using the proper key and save it to the keyring.
2) Enter the keyring in System > Administration > Keyring Manager and alter the key to be incorrect
3) Attempt to connect to the same network again

Expected Result:

 Prompt for proper password or even a notice to change the password in the keyring.

Actual Result:

 Nothing happens, no connection, no notice of a failure, program just idles in waiting for another command.

I will attempt to duplicate this by changing router passwords later this evening.
