Description: networkmanager-1.0.4-1 won't stay connected to wifi after setting password in nm-applet.
nm-applet and nmtui-connect can view avaiable wifi connections. Asks for password one time, and doesn't stay connected for more than a second. Then it doesn't stay up, nor asks for password again, nor prompts gnome-keyring, nor connects.
Dhclient and dhcpcd are not conflicting with neither networkmanager neither between them.
Setting dhclient=internal doesn't change.
Issue troubleshooted in freenode irc channel #archlinux.
Downgrading to networkmanager-1.0.2-4 works.

I've noticed something similar since about a week ago, where I can log into existing networks with passwords using existing config in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections but when I try a new network with a password it never shows the password prompt and fails immediately. nmtui-connect works for me so it seems to be an issue with nm-applet interacting with networkmanager.

Are reporters still being affected by this issue with latest version?
