secured wifi

[charu86]

i have a secured wifi in my home. everytime i try to connect it via ubuntu, it asks for another password (apart from wifi password).. network manager keyring.. something like this.
i haven't set that thing, and even i provide my password or root's, it's just comes up again and again.

and i am not able to connect to my wifi.

i have no such problem when i connect to an unsecured wifi.

i am using Karmic Koala, Ubuntu 9.10.

When you configured your keyrings, you may have set a different password other than your root and username password? Try clicking cancel on a protected network that your keyring is protecting the passphrase for and then try entering the passphrase to the network in again and see if it checks the passphrase against what's inside the keyring or not.

It's the gnome-keyring. In theory, this program allows you to safely store all of your various passwords in one place, and have just one password to remember. When you first connected to a secure network, it would have popped up and asked for a password. If you left it blank, it would store your network password in an unencrypted file, but would not ask you for a password everytime you login.

You should be able to reset the keyring by removing the config file.

rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring
