Hi,
I cannot store the pass phrase for my wireless lan in NetworkManager.
Procedure: - left click on NM icon - selecting my wireless lan - entering my pass phrase - connect successful
Later: - right click on NM icon - edit connection -> wireless - selecting my connection -> Edit -> wireless security - box for pass phrase is empty - entering my pass phrase - clicking apply - closing window
Repeating this procedure, the in wireless security, there is no pass phase :-(
Is this a bug or is there an error in my procedure?
Thanks, Uwe
In general it should save your password automatically (I assume you use Fedora 10). Maybe you should delete your WLAN from the connection list, connect, enter your password and just reboot and see whether it worked automatically.

Oh, my fault: It's Rawhide :-)

I have had also this idea, but it didn't help.

Did you ever deny nm-applet or nm-connection-editor access to the Gnome Keyring? Run 'gnome-keyring-manager' or 'seahorse' ('yum install gnome-keyring-manager seahorse' if you don't have them installed) and see if nm-applet and nm-connection-editor has access to the key in question.
If all else fails, you can use the atom-bomb approach and 'rm -rf ~/.gnome2/keyrings' and then try to set the passphrase in nm-connection-editor again.

Seems to be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453880 (I´ve had the same issue in Rawhide - my wireless passphrases was not saved by nm-applet).
I *just* solved the problem by following the steps described by Rex Dieter (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453880#c11) in that bugreport except for installing gnome-keyring-manager since it seems to be gone in Rawhide.
In short, I removed ~/gnome2/keyrings and installed gnome-keyring-pam and did a logout / login. Now nm-applet is no longer prompting me for a passphrase. It also looks like it´s saved in the config now.

Should I? I only did the procedure as described below. (selecting my wlan in nm's wlan-list. I never have been prompted for keyring manager or such applications.
Run 'gnome-keyring-manager' or 'seahorse' ('yum install gnome-keyring-manager seahorse' if you don't have them installed) and see if nm-applet and nm-connection-editor has access to the key in question.
I will give this procedure a try :-)
If all else fails, you can use the atom-bomb approach and 'rm -rf ~/.gnome2/keyrings' and then try to set the passphrase in nm-connection-editor again.
I do *not* have this file.
Thanks, Uwe

Odd, that means you may not have gnome-keyring installed. Are you using the gnome applet, or the KDE applet with KDE?
