For me it popus up the password box very often if I turn off my router. As long as my router is off, NM popup the password in a timely basis . After one hour with the router off, i have more then 30 password prompts at screen.
I guess that NM doesn't know the difference between weak signal and wrong password. -- 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/1084364 Title: Network-Manager Repeatedly Asks for Authorization (WPA2 Password) Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: System: ------- – Fresh clean installation of xubuntu 12.10 using the xubuntu .iso from the official xubuntu web site, fully updated using the xubuntu Software Updater. – network-manager fully set up for an internet connection using WiFi with WPA2-Personal, including SSID and WPA2 password. Boxes "automatically connect" and "available to all users" ticked. In Settings > Start-Up Applications, the network-manager box is ticked. – The internet connection through this access point is routinely used by other PCs (including ubuntu 11.04 and xubuntu 11.10, all using the same settings for network-manager) without any connectivity or stability problems. Access point signal strength is over 80%. Bug: ---- – On system start-up, network-manager attempts to connect. – After a significant delay, a panel pops up requesting authorization. The WPA2 password is already filled in in this panel and it is correct. – Press the authorization panel's connect button. The panel disappears. The network indicator icon rotates. – After a significant delay, the authorization panel pops up again. – Press the authorization panel's connect button again. – This cycle may repeat itself several more times, until network-manager finally makes a successful connection. What should happen: ------------------- On start-up, network-manager should establish the internet connection without any user interaction and without delay.
