Possibly a permissiosn error with the keyring? rm -r $HOME/.gnome2/keyrings See if the above helps... Nope. I removed the keyrings/ dir and tried to reconnect to the network. It happily prompted for the key, asked for a password and created default.keyring, then spat out the same two error messages and continues to prompt for the key whenever I reconnect. Reporter, do you have by chance two network cards? I wonder if this isn't DUPLICATE of bug 224022. Chris? I doubt they are related. Will, can you start with a fresh boot and attach (as a file) the output of: sudo grep NetworkManager /var/log/messages Created attachment 146933 [details]
Network manager logging info
I do have multiple NICs - one wired, one wireless. I suspect this is a pretty
common configuration.
This log is from a freshly-booted, just-reinstalled system. Timeline is as
follows:
11:55 - boot (ipw2200 firmware was installed on system before reboot)
12:07 - connected to wireless network, told networkmanager to save key
12:30 - connected to wired network
12:31 - disconnected from wired network, was prompted for key to connect to
wireless
To clarify (now that I've actually read bug 224022): I only have one wireless NIC, so this isn't related to that bug. Works in current rawhide. |
Every time I connect to the wireless network, I'm prompted for my WEP key, and them prompted for the keyring password to save it. It appears that NetworkManager is having trouble saving it in the keyring. ~/.xession-errors contains the following lines: ** (nm-applet:2402): CRITICAL **: nm_gconf_wso_set_key: assertion `key != NULL' failed ** (nm-applet:2402): WARNING **: <WARN> nmi_save_network_info(): Error saving secret for wireless network 'rh-wireless' in keyring: 5 Further info: [root@zebes ~]# rpm -q NetworkManager NetworkManager-0.6.5-0.cvs20061025.fc7.1 [root@zebes ~]# gconftool-2 -R /system/networking /system/networking/wireless: /system/networking/wireless/networks: /system/networking/wireless/networks/rh-wireless: bssids = [00:12:80:14:F9:70] wep_auth_algorithm = 1 essid = rh-wireless timestamp = 1169072960 we_cipher = 16
