Network Manager forgets WPA2 password.

Hi,

When I log into Gnome-Shell my WPA2 password is remembered between  
sessions in Network Manager. But when I log into my default desktop  
(Pekwm/Tint2) which also uses Network Manager I have to enter the password  
every time. What can I do to get Network Manager remember the password  
outside of Gnome?

I'm running Debian Wheezy with Gnome 3.2

I do not use gnome. But this is the way I do it.

less /etc/network/interfaces

# Netgear wg111v2 rtl8187 module
#
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet dhcp
     modprobe rtl8187
         wpa-ssid Verizon MiFi2200 C4B5 Secure
         wpa-psk  xxxxxxxxxxx

That is NOT the user password, it is the password to
connect to my Wireless provider.

Regards
Wayne

Hugo, despite being complex in appearance shorewall is 'easy' to set up for a strong
firewall with example files provided with the installation. The installation can be
a work in progress if you're curious, without starting it until you're ready. Don't
forget that /etc/default/shorewall directory unless you like starting shorewall
manually at every boot.

I used to use the arno-iptables-firewall an even simpler installation for a strong
firewall but the script that runs arno-iptables-firewall can be adjusted to do
whatever exotic requirements you may need just like shorewall.

Hugo, what would be really impressive is if 'you' started using mutt as your email
client. I would be impressed at least.

I think you don't have gnome-keyring-daemon running in Pekwm. This is a
common problem with window managers; you have to configure/start the
Gnome daemons that give the nice functionality by hand.

What does it look like when running 'ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemon'
in a terminal? On my machine it gives the following:

ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemon
adrian    2964  0.0  0.0   4052   760 pts/2    S+   03:15   0:00 grep
gnome-keyring-daemon
adrian    3816  0.0  0.1  58308  3696 ?        SLl  01:30   0:00 
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login

I'm not sure how gnome-keyring-daemon is started, there is gnome-keyring 
stuff in /etc/xdg/autostart which gets started at login and also there 
is /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.keyring.service (but neither 
starts gnome-keyring-daemon with '--daemonize --login'). I myself am 
running Openbox, but thank god, I didn't have problems with this.

I don't know what you've found, but you misunderstood : I do not dislike
/etc/network/if-*.d/.

Again, you misunderstood whatever I wrote.

Ok, so I subscribed the "normal" way, and I'll just periodically purge the 
mails to avoid waiting for 857,000 emails to load over dialup.
I don't like it though, and it really strikes me as incredibly obvious that 
there's just no excuse for the silliness of no header interoperability between 
the mailing list and the usenet group. Apparently for the sake of someone's ego 
being tickled by having "bofh" in their custom headers. Flippin' weenie...

Glad I got that off my chest, I feel better now. :)
