Fix re-entering wifi network password on every reboot.  
Written by nikhilsinha the 14 Mar 08 at 02:25. Implemented
I have to re-enter my wifi network password every time I reboot Ubuntu. I read some solution to keep the password in the some file, but in that case your user's password and network password should be same!
I tried doing same, and the result was that I was not able to login into my machine anymore.

Moreover windows just saves the password and never ask again!
A deal breaker for Wifi users who want to use Ubuntu!
