When booting my laptop, it will try to connect to my wireless network, however a
window keeps popping up asking me for my security password, which has already been saved.
I have to keep deleting my network settings, and reconnecting, otherwise it keeps failing to connect.
My wireless is set up with a WPA, I do not want to lower my security because of this, but it is a pain and can take me 15mins plus to finally connect.
The problem has only become apparent since a fresh install of 11.10.
IPV6 disabled.

In terminal I get this:
pst007x@pst007x-ubuntu64:~$ nm-applet start
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area

Note this line:
** Message: No keyring secrets found for Auto Access 01/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.
At this point is where I am asked for the password.
