Public bug reported:
I have a laptop with a broadcom wifi card running with driver bcm43xx,
Feisty CD5, 64 bit. I'm connected to an encrypted wlan protected by a
keystroke of 10 hexadecimal characters.
The first time I tried to connect, all was right: I was just asked for
the password and it worked.
But every time I reboot, I'm asked for the keyring password (already
reported as bug 89096), and even if I put it in, the network manager
applet isn't able to connect (it tries for around 2 minutes, then it
stays "not connected").
To solve the problem, I have to open every time the keyring manager,
remove the wlan key, uncheck "enable wireless" in NM-applet and check it
again: it will ask me the wlan password and all will work fine.
(Not sure of what I'm saying, but couldn't this problem be caused by
nmapplet not remembering, when storing the password in the keyring, that
it's a hexadecimal one and not just a password?)
Don't know if it has some utility, but here is my
/etc/network/interfaces:
### START ###
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
