NM keyring problem this morning

Tue Oct 30 06:40:26 UTC 2007

I seem to be having similar issues. Everything was fine when I was using my
laptop last night and when booted this morning and choosing my wifi network,
I was prompted for the WPA passphase and not my default keyring passphrase.

Below are the updates installed last night, taken from /var/log/yum.log

I am guessing the problem lies with the following two lines:

Oct 30 07:35:24 dougalb-lnx NetworkManager: Missing required value
'key-mgmt'.
Oct 30 07:35:24 dougalb-lnx NetworkManager: Missing or invalid key
management

Anybody got any thoughts as to what got changed?

Kind regards,

Dougal
