Network Manager Applet keeps asking for authentication

SlowCoder · 05-27-2009, 07:23 AM

I'm using F10. Wireless is configured, and working nicely. Only problem is that every time I boot the laptop I get the "Wireless Network Authentication Required" dialog for my WPA. All I have to do is hit OK and I'm authenticated. Why does it keep popping up?

Note - I doubt this is a router issue, because I recently changed routers and the same is happening on the new one.

On my system (Debian Squeeze with XFCE4) this was caused by me not having gnome-keyring installed. Once I installed it nm-applet immediately tried to access the default keyring and the keyring manager required a password for the new keyring. Once this was entered I could disconnect and connect to my wireless network without being asked anything.
