This is still not clear: Both N-M and Evolution would be using gnome-keyring to store the passwords. So... what does the keyring have on passwords (Applications/Accessories/Passwords and Encryption Keys/Passwords); what keyrings are in use? Which keyring is set to automatically open on login?

WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA-EAP? 4. can you connect at all? how many attempts does it usually take before a connect attempt succeeds? 5. is the password sometimes remembered or are you asked on _any_ connect attempt? attachment A. please restart your system, reproduce the bug and attach your complete /var/log/syslog attachment B. please attach your /etc/network/interfaces Thanks, - Alexander
