this is true, works for me and should point to the right direction where the actual bug might be. from wild guessing: if checked "All users can connect with this network" network manager will avoid to use the stored PIN in /etc/NetworkManager. So, the quetsion standing is: why isn't it using the PIN stored in gnome-keyring, if available. Then again, the workaround mentioned by themroc should be sufficient for almost all use cases of this hardware (where does one really need multiple users on a mobile machine being able to use the same UMTS connection, where at the same time it is impossible to add that same connection for each user once ..?) my 2 cents :_) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704123 Title: Network Manager asks for the PIN even if it is memorized Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Triaged Status in NetworkManager: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in network-manager package in Debian: New Bug description: **************** HOW TO REPRODUCE **************** 1.
