Description of problem: Network manager fails to remember wifi passwords. Upon login I have to re-enter my wifi password. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa | grep NetworkManager NetworkManager-openvpn-0.8.995-1.fc15.x86_64 NetworkManager-pptp-0.8.995-1.fc15.x86_64 NetworkManager-gnome-0.8.998-2.git20110406.fc15.x86_64 NetworkManager-glib-0.8.998-2.git20110406.fc15.x86_64 NetworkManager-0.8.998-2.git20110406.fc15.x86_64 NetworkManager-openconnect-0.8.1-7.git20110326.fc15.x86_64 NetworkManager-vpnc-0.8.996-2.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to Gnome-Shell 2. Connect to the new network, not stored by NM 3. Type wifi password 4. check connection (ie. run firefox or check email in Evolution) 5. Log out 6. Log in Actual results: wifi is disconnected and user has to manually select network, then type the password Expected results: password would be remembered on user's profile, then during next session user can start using internet without having to re-type their wifi password Additional info:
I can't reproduce that. What type of WiFi network do you use (WEP, WPA, ...)? Could you check whether the password is stored, by running nm-connection-editor and look at your connection ('Wireless' tab, click on your connection and 'Edit...')?
WiFi Network, encrypted with WPA. Unless I save the password through nm-connection-editor, no password is remembered.
Created attachment 495955 [details] Image showing nm-connection-editor with no password stored. Image showing nm-connection-editor with no password stored.
Can you try with the latest NetworkManager? The password should get stored in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-Auto_<yourSSID>
it looks like the latest version of NetworkManager fixed the issue. using NetworkManager-0.8.998-3.git20110419.fc15.x86_64 thanks!
