Details

Description:
** (nm-applet:6063): WARNING: **: <WARN> nmi_save_network_info(): Error saving secret for wireless network 'NU Simply Web' in keyring: 5

Error is thrown when connecting to a wireless 2.4ghz b/g access point when using WPA-Enterprise PEAP.

Additional info:
* using latest 'extra' version of networkmanager with recommended dependancies
* Others have experienced this issue: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=291656
* While the behavior of the app' sometimes means that you are re-asked for the details when you connect again. Often networkmanager has remembered the passphrase; implying it has stored the details somewhere that is possibly not secure.
* Connection to the access point is often successful; but some times results in a failed connection due to delayed association with the 'AP'. This may not be related.

Steps to reproduce:
* Find a WPA-Enterprise access point that you have valid credentials for
* Use networkmanager to connect to the access point, entering valid details
* Error is evident in log
This task depends upon

Apologies, of course as this mentions the 'keyring' this is using the gnome X environment.

Does this still happen?

I shall confirm tomorrow.

Just checked logs and I cannot find any which refer to this error message anymore. Though it would usually appear on the X console screen rather than be logged when running 'startx' though thanks to new 'evdev' keyboard layout mess abouts with hwd I no longer have alt-f1-7 functionality with gdm/X.

At present the problem appears to be gone.
