Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-
When using network-manager to connect to my WLAN automatically at startup it each time asks for the password.
That's ok it is secure, but not what I want. I want an empty password.
I know that that is unsecure, but nobody comes into my house and steals my computer, using my WLAN then with it from outside.
nm-applet lets you enter a password, and when you enter nothing, just press OK, it says, passwords cannot be empty.
Sometimes GNOME is frustrating not letting you do what you want, just telling you what you should do and giving you no choice.
It's ok to tell me that it is not secure. But please let ME decide.
Is this possible to get fixed?
Thanks,
Chris

Thank you for your bug report and helping to make Ubuntu better, I think what you are trying to say is that the gnome-keyring- manager is where you want to store(or not store) an empty password. It's not your wlan that has an empty password am I correct? If so, I think you filed this against the wrong package, I just want to be sure so let me know and I'll move it for you.
