Hi, 

When entering a password and SSID in to Wireshark's Decryption Key Management
box, and OKing or Applying and OKing the dialog, the details are not saved on
reopening the Key Management box

This sounds like a bug referred to here and in your BUGID 7681 - but I think my
issue is not quite identical.

http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/13647/wireshark-18x-doesnt-save-decryption-keys-for-wireless

It shouldn't matter if you are using an AirPcap adapter (we are in this case),
because you should be able to use "Wireshark" mode (by entering the WPA
details) with these devices and thus decrypt WPA traffic - it works in previous
to 1.6.13 build ok. 

Airpcap driver mode only decrypts WEP.

1) Open Decryption Key Management dialog
2) Click New
3) Select Type - WPA-PWD
4) Enter credentials and ok
5) Note at this point the details are in the dialog
6) Either Apply and OK or OK the management dialog to close
7) re-open the management dialog - note, no details stored now

tested and failed also on 1.9.0 DEV

See attached WS 185 Fail.png showing the dialog box empty after the above
process

Thanks

Paul
