Hi
I am trying to use a 802.11 wireless network that frequently disconnects
me (low signal). The network is protected with WPA pre-shared key. The
problem is I am being prompted for this key every time.
Well, almost every. When I log in, I do not have to type the key. It is
stored in the GNOME keyring (I use nm-editor 0.6.6 for that).
But then, when it disconnects, I have to type it again and again. Why?
And sometimes it doesn't prompt me, and failes to authenticate also. :-|
I had to delete the network entry from the GNOME keyring (nm-editor),
get *prompted* for the key, and *then* I was authenticated. 8-|
What's wrong??!
I had a similar issue a while ago on a friend's machine and wondered the same thing. Searched for days before finally finding a solution somewhere buried deep in the Ubuntu forums; your nm-editor hack sounds familiar. My friend's machine had auto login which caused the issue with wpa encryption. It was on Debian Lenny.
