Did a factory reset, google account login,app's updated before upgrading to ICS and when ICS was up and running it was log'd into my home WiFi.

I have done a lot of factory resets pre ICS because I just enjoy messing around online/with the phone/sandbox stuff and it never ever kept my WiFi password/login info so either~

- a factory reset+ICS upgrade grabs the info because its not really erased or
- Google backup is keeping your WiFi login info, which I'm pretty sure is not listed.

Actually, it specifically says that backing up your data to Google will save your wifi passwords. Under Settings->Privacy->Back up my data, it reads, "Back up app data, Wi-Fi passwords, and other settings to Google servers." Pretty handy.
