When booting my laptop, it will try to connect to my wireless network, however a window keeps popping up asking me for my security password, which has already been saved.



I have to keep deleting my network settings, and reconnecting, otherwise it keeps failing to connect.



My wireless is set up with a WPA, I do not want to lower my security because of this, but it is a pain and can take me 15mins plus to finally connect.



The problem has only become apparent since a fresh install of 11.10.



IPV6 disabled.



System info:



01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)

In terminal I get this:



pst007x@pst007x-ubuntu64:~$ nm-applet start
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
** (nm-applet:2816): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0
** Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon
** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area
** Message: No keyring secrets found for Auto Access 01/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.
** (nm-applet:2816): DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb



Note this line:



** Message: No keyring secrets found for Auto Access 01/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.



At this point is where I am asked for the password.



Please report WPA issues with Ubuntu 11.10 here:

I uninstalled all drivers and references to the BCM4*** first and only added one driver that referred to the BCM43225. Rebooted and it all works fine without any issue.
