Dear fellow testers,
I have a Toshiba laptop tracking rawhide and I have the
wireless working beautifully(*knocks on wood*), however
everytime I start the machine I get a prompt to enter the
password by gnome-keyring or whatever it is called. If I
don't enter the password, I can't connect to the
wireless network(Network is encrypted and not open). Is
there a way to tell it not to ask for it again and login
automatically without prompting for the password?
Thank you in advance for your help.
BTW, in pre Fedora 7 whiles't installing a Test release
I had used madwifi and the network was open back then, now
it is encrypted and thankfully the Network adminstrator has
successfully configured the machine for me. The ath5k/ath9k
driver services the laptop and all is well, just I don't
want to type the password each time.
Regards,
Antonio

To follow up on this, I found the following page:
http://fedoramobile.org/Members/thomasj/Gnome-keyring
But I am not sure as to how to proceed. I am afraid to lose everything, since the network
at work is encrypted. The Network Administrator put in the key, and the gnome-keyring
appears at startup asking me to "unlock it", how can I make sure that
it(gnome-keyring) is not locked at startup? to avoid entering the password every time the
machine starts?
Thank you in advance,
Antonio
