Bug Description

Network manager (not sure if it's the core package or just the gnome applet) does not remember my password for connecting to a WPA enterprise network. All other settings are remembered and recalled, but not the password. Complicating this is that the "password" box is greyed out (as is the connect button), so I can't just enter the password and click connect, I have to re-enter the info for the wireless network all over again.

I don't know if it's relevant, but here is the network settings I'm using

Wireless security: WPA & WPA2 Personal
Authentication: Protected EAP
Anonymous Identity : **my campus email**
CA Cert: /etc/ssl/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA
PEAP Version : Automatic
Inner Authentication : MSCHAPv2
Username : **campus username**
Password : **campus password**

Every setting except for the password is recalled correctly. The SSID of the network is hidden. Connecting to a "new" hidden network with these settings works perfectly.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide to help troubleshoot this bug.
