This is indeed what I had to do to get networkmanager to retain the passwords. I had to
change the password setting to all users to build a config file with the password in
plain text, then switch it back to the current user mode to get it encrypted again and
the password saved in the definition, is this a bug in Networkmanager functionality?
Well, I've not had any of the issues you're seeing. So, if there is a
problem with NM it
must be due to something triggering it on your system.
