Wireless not connecting automatically

My wireless is working fine, but when I login, it does not connect automatically, I have to select it from the list each and every time to use it. Even though the connect automatically option is selected in the network options.
So basically, after booting it, I don't get connected to the network until I choose connect to hidden wireless network, followed by selecting the hidden network, and clicking connect.

You can try to remove-delete the connection and create it from the begin.Open the network manager with gksudo nm-connection-editor

The password is probably not saved in system settings.
To fix this:
- Enter into "System settings -> Network"
- Select Wireless in the left pane and click the Options button
- Click the Wireless Security Tab.
- Enter the password in the password field and click the Save button

I made sure the password was saved a long time ago, so this is not the problem. It doesn't want to automatically log me into hidden networks.

I had similar problem with my laptop running Ubuntu 12.10.
First thing first, make sure:
Connect Automatically and
Available for all users are clicked in network settings.
And now, a small trick might work here. Once logged in and connected to wireless, just switch off the wireless physically (from the button) and start it again.
From the next start/reboot (or may be couple of reboots), it will start auto connecting.
Now don't ask me why.
