Bug Description
== Regression details ==
Discovered in version: 0.7~~svn2008090
Last known good version: 0.6.6-0ubuntu5
- Version: 0.5.1-0ubuntu19
+ Version: network-
Network manager is working fine for me aside from requiring me to type in my WEP password again each time I start my computer or re-init the wireless connection. First it asks for my gnome-keyring password, then a short time later it asks for my WEP key again. I've tried deleting my keyring and starting from scratch but it doesn't seem to help. It won't remember it no matter what. This is really annoying, since now I have to type in BOTH my gnome-keyring password and my WEP key for my home network every time I start my computer.
I'm not sure how to debug this further, but here are the relevent bits from my syslog:
Mar 25 16:52:32 localhost NetworkManager: process_
Mar 25 16:52:32 localhost NetworkManager: <WARNING>^I (): nm_device_
[repeats many times]
<information>
Mar 25 16:53:11 localhost NetworkManager: <information>
Then I give it the key and it works fine. I can't wait for the next version without gnome-keyring, but hope this problem gets fixed before then! Let me know what additional information is required.

I have the same bug in Ubuntu Gutsy, Tribe 3 updated today Aug 10th.
Every time I restart the network I have to re-enter the WEP password, and supply a new password for gnome-keyring.
* Bug occurs on rebooting.
* Bug occurs if I right click to deactivate wireless and then the same to reactivate wireless.
* No bug if I use the hardware switch to kill the network and then unkill the network. That gives no trouble.
* (No action if I left click and try to log off and then back onto my preferred WEP network.)
