Idea #11151: Automatic reconnect and don't prompt password for default wireless networks.

This idea is a duplicate of idea #2393: don't ask for default keyring password if system is set to autologin.

Description

The network manager prompts for password while accessing keyring to connect to wireless networks.. This is avoidable by some workarounds, but still doesn't work when automatic logon is enabled

Also in cases when wireless AP is down for sometime, it doesnt seem to connect back automatically when AP is *visible* again.

This IS a BIG priority. I totally support this two things.

Add REFRESH button, connection priority (so when my favorite connection becomes available disconnects from current alternate connection and reconnects to it)

And also AUTODETECT password type. (dont ask me if its ASCI, 128 BIT, whatever)

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. AS IN LAPTOPS WE DEAL WITH THIS EVERYDAY. ITS REALLY FRUSTRATING!
