Network problem Problem

Hobbes

Ok Its opensuse 10.2.

I have the network set up and it connects. However when it goes to connect it asks me for the Keyring password, then it asks me for the TKIP password.

Is there a way to get it to actually use the TKIP password that is entered in the card to work? I would be happy enough if it just auto logged into my router only with no password prompts.

The other issue is that is that the network disconnects itself after about 30-40 mins if I am not at the machine.

Most common way is
If your keyring password is set to the same as your user password.
Then you may be able to find a package called
libpam-keyring, there's one prebuilt for ubuntu anyways.
Otherwise you may have to build from the source.

Then in /etc/pam.d/gdm, add the two lines to the end of the file.

auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
session optional pam_keyring.so

Ok that will bypass the keyring but I still have the problem of it asking me for the TKIP password as well More then one I might add.

There ought to be no problem with remembering the tkip password. "Works for me (TM)" home and workplaces.

Any chance that the password stored in the keyring is incorrect/out of date?
Do you have a wpa_supplicant.conf file that might be overriding network manager?

Beyond that I'm out of my depth.

When you mention that you're asked for more than one TKIP password, is this possibly due to having connected to more than one access point within range in the past?

If you run gconf-editor, under system/networking/wireless/networks (or a kde equivalent)
does it list more than one of the access points where you're located. Removing surplus ones might prevent multiple password requests.
