I can echo this one with KNetworkManager. The most infuriating time is
when it detects a former network (such as on boot), and attempts to
reconnect to it. The screen appears asking for more information, but
WPA-Personal and WPA-Enterprise are missing from the screen where one
types in the information (it otherwise is identical to the screen that
appears when you click "Connect to other wireless network."
