Isn't it the case that the key for WEP or WPA is stored in the PAM keyring if you have PAM installed? I run Ubuntu (Gnome) so PAM is already installed, but if you run another distro/desktop and PAM isn't installed or configured then maybe it's not storing the WEP key? Once stored in PAM, then you only get asked for the PAM passphrase, but in the version of PAM supplied in Ubuntu 7.10 there is a checkbox in the passphrase dialog to always remember the PAM passphrase. --andrew _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
