password to connect to the internet appears twice

[ddez]

every time when I logged in on my account, ubuntu of course aks me for the password to connect to the internet. when I fill in my password for the first time ubuntu connects to the internet, but then I have to fill in that same password again for any reason because he is allready connected to the internet

I've been noticing this problem as well. I believe the OP is referring to the Gnome Keyring password dialog. I find that it forces me to type my password 2 or 3 times before it will "accept" my password. The first time I type my password in the dialog goes away and immediately reappears just as though I had typed the wrong password.

I have confirmed that this is not simply an issue of mistyping my password the first time. This happens at every reboot no matter how careful I am at typing my password.

Please let me know if I can provide more details.

Not sure if this is the correct package but I suspect the Gnome Keyring gurus might be best able to redirect it otherwise.

I noticed something else today: After I correctly enter my password the first time Network Manager connects me to the wired and wireless networks. So it seems like the first prompt is coming from Network Manager. I'm not sure what is triggering the 2nd prompt.

If I am not connected to the wired network and also not in range of any wireless networks then I only get one prompt.
