Bug Description
After upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, network manager, although it could see my router's wireless network, wouldn't make a connection to it while in Gnome, but would connect in xfce. However, whereas I had had a static ip set up, in xfce it had created a new connection, and was using dhcp.
I tried repeatedly fiddling many settings in the edit connections dialog in the network connection applet in gnome, but nothing worked. I eventually deleted /etc/NetworkMan
Eventually I somehow got a keyring authorisation dialog can up, and after I entered my password, network manager then did work. I was able to reset things to have a static ip.
