I think the bug report about this is, and it is an old one from Dapper's time, is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/34898 At least I don't experience anymore on my laptop in Feisty the multiple keyring password prompts where you are asked 2 or 3 times in a row to unlock your keyring before network-manager can reconnect to a protected network: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/31286 That workaround in that blog you found seems interesting. I'll have to give it a try. -- Daniel Robitaille -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
