This functionality was just introduced in F17, NetworkManager 0.9.x. Previously you could only have one client connected to the NetworkManager daemon at a time. Now the behavior has changed to make it work better with fast-user-switching. This new connection sharing also causes secrets to be handled differently. Previously everything was stored in your gnome-keyring, now by default secrets are stored at the system level. A client can register to be a secrets provider however I don't know if this has been implemented in sugar yet. >> >> >> When I was last testing Sugar and NetworkManager interaction, I did it >> on a system, such as an XO, without GNOME running.

Thanks for the idea .. :D :D I may have more information about this this weekend. I currently have an unstable network connection and the NetworkManager password popups are annoying me. If I find anything interesting I will update everyone. -Jon _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
