That's strange... I've never heard  of that  problem  before. Try going to
the Gnome Keyring Manager (In the System menu, but not sure where... not on
an Ubuntu box at the moment) and seeing if your passwords are there. Does it
ask you for a keyring password when you try to connect? If so, it means that
the passwords are remembered but your keyring password is not. Try deleting
the keyring in Keyring Manager, and when NM asks you to set a new password,
use a password identical to your system login password. If they're both the
same, the act of logging into the machine should unlock the keyring via
libpam-keyring.
