This problem is not unique, there are many around the world
experiencing similar problems and possibly blaming them on other
things such as drivers, kernel... My only solution at the moment
is to make a X automation script to auto click the "Connect"
button when this happens. It is possibly the lamest solution but
I hope it will work out.
I don't think this is a good idea. It
hides potential other issues
with drivers, wpasupplicant, or whatever. I think in most
cases where
you lose the connection and retry fails, it's reasonable to
ask for
the password again.
A more elegant solution to this problem is for an advanced user to
be able to handle the retry failure dbus event that triggers the
password dialog and override the default action. Perhaps this is
already possible.
