For reasons unknown to me, Network manager stores your wireless passwords in an encrypted keyring. Your password is the decrypt token. I assume you've enabled pam_keyring in common_auth, which recieves the password you type at GDM and starts the keyring manager with enough timeout to let nm-applet retrieve passwords from your keyring.
I'm marking this confirmed, to keep it a visible and known bug.
The fixes I can imagine are to either:
* place NM wireless keys out of the keyring by default (weak wireless security)
* store the keyring token within the fingerprint reader itself (good luck)
* store the keyring token on disk (bad security!)
Given the nature of the request and the very weak security of fingerprints, I think something closer to the first option is the desired solution here. I understand that Network Manager in Intrepid (http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha5#Network%20Manager%200.7) allows system wide settings.
Does this sound like an acceptable fix? |

After a good configuration with this howto:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader_with_ThinkFinger#Ubuntu
My fingerprint reader works good also to login, but if I login with my fingerprint, the keyring manager asking me to be unlocked to connect my wifi network.
Everything ok if I login with my text password.
