Re: Saving network-manager network settings

Hi,

Is there a way to save *and reuse* wireless network settings entered in
Network Manager applet? For example, settings needed to connect to
WPA[2] Enterprise Wi-Fi: security/encryption type, identities,
certificates, keys etc.

It looks like all this is saved in
~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks/. However on the next
connection attempt to the same SSID all the corresponding fields in
nm-applet are empty...

Thanks,
Šarūnas


That's strange... I've never heard of that problem before. Try going to
the Gnome Keyring Manager (In the System menu, but not sure where... not on
an Ubuntu box at the moment) and seeing if your passwords are there. Does it
ask you for a keyring password when you try to connect? If so, it means that
the passwords are remembered but your keyring password is not. Try deleting
the keyring in Keyring Manager, and when NM asks you to set a new password,
use a password identical to your system login password. If they're both the
same, the act of logging into the machine should unlock the keyring via
libpam-keyring.
