Re: NetworkManager keeps asking for secret phrase
so you say it doesn't ask for the PAM password every time you reboot ? mine keeps asking , so I went for nm-applet manual configuration. Now it doesn't show the signal strength :( On Nov 15, 2007 6:27 AM, Henry Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 2007-11-10 at 14:48 +0200, Firas Swidan, PhD wrote: Hi, I am trying to connect to my WAP wireless network and NetworkManager keeps asking for the secret phrase without connecting.

If it is asking you for a secret phrase it means is is not open to anyone who connects. You need to know the (usually 40 bit or 104 bit) string that was set up on the AP. Note that 104 bits is 13 ASCII characters. Isn't it the case that the key for WEP or WPA is stored in the PAM keyring if you have PAM installed? I run Ubuntu (Gnome) so PAM is already installed, but if you run another distro/desktop and PAM isn't installed or configured then maybe it's not storing the WEP key? Once stored in PAM, then you only get asked for the PAM passphrase, but in the version of PAM supplied in Ubuntu 7.10 there is a checkbox in the passphrase dialog to always remember the PAM passphrase. --andrew ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Ubuntu? It's probably becuase when you set manual configuration, NM doesn't touch the card any more and therefore won't show signal strength. None of the nice features of NM are usable when you set manual mode (if I understand the Ubuntu manual mode correctly).

Now it doesn't show the signal strength :( My experience is that the keys are stored in the gnome-keyring and you are asked for a WEP key for example every time you logon. In NM-0.7 it is supposed to be possible to get a machine wide passwd rather than a user specific passwd but I don't know if that is operational yet.
