The connection is getting marked invalid because it appears to require a password, yet that password is not available:
Aug 14 13:37:42 localhost NetworkManager[972]: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless): access point 'Auto ZyXEL' has security, but secrets are required. Aug 14 13:37:42 localhost NetworkManager[972]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: config -> need-auth (reason 'none') [50 60 0] Aug 14 13:37:42 localhost NetworkManager[972]: <info> Unmanaged Device found; state CONNECTED forced.

Aug 14 13:37:47 localhost NetworkManager[972]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: need-auth -> failed (reason 'no-secrets') [60 120 7] Is it correctly configured in the connection's settings? If not, what type of desktop do you use? nm-applet should always be asking for the password (as long as it's running). ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/826256 Title: Keeps asking for auth for wireless network every few minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/826256/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
