I am having problems with wireless connections when I start my computer back up from standby after a while of it being in standby, and sometimes regular power up from full off as well though less often. The problem is that when connecting to the networks it will not connect and keep asking me for my login information over and over again.
One sort of fix that I found, but it doesn't work all the time, is to switch to a different network that I don't have on my network list already try to connect to that wait for it to fail then switch back to the network I really wanted and it seems to get the connection, however again this only sometimes works.
So I'm wondering if this is a known problem or if its just me. LSPCI below:

I have the same WiFi adapter (Lenovo X1) and I used to have a similar problem, especially when connecting to 5GHz networks. Connecting to 2.4GHz networks is a lot more stable. The problems significantly reduced when I updated to 12.04 (alpha at the time) and I haven't seen it recur for a few weeks now.
Note that I did an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 so it's not a fresh install.
I'm not sure that's the answer you expected but it seems that upgrading to 12.04 is the way to go. There are other reasons too :-)
Note for everybody who suggest to check the keyring or connection settings: in my experience the problem is intermittent and is not related to settings.
