Bug Description

First, I created an adhoc network through nm-applet->create new wifi network.

Network Name: 111
wi-fi security: WEP 128-bit Passphrase
key: 222

Then click create button and wait for its ready.

using another machine to connect to this "111", enter password 222 and you can find that the connect button is grey, you can not click it.

This happens not only with ad-hoc networks, but any password protected network where You don't have the password saved in Your settings.

Ok, now I have saved the password and then set it back to always ask and now it is working. Can You try that too?
