wireless keeps asking for password, ubuntu 12.04

[pretty_whistle]

This is on Ubuntu 12.04.

After a reboot and coming back from 'suspend' my wireless connection tries to reconnect but keeps asking for the password. Its already filled in for me in the little window so I have to hit the 'connect' button.

How do I correct this and connect automatically?

Please follow the "Wireless Script" link in my signature, download the script as per Method #2 there and keep the script ready. Run the script when it fails to connect after resuming from suspend, and post back the report it generates.

And what do you mean by "after reboot"? Does it work well in any case at all? Is it the same rt3290sta driver that we compiled a few hours ago in a different thread?

Just got a message from my respectable friend Hadaka, and re-read your post -

I think I totally misunderstood your post earlier (if not this time). Do you mean you are able to connect just fine only need to "click" the button manually? If so, there is no need to go through the script or any other hassles. Just edit your connection to make it connect automatically -

Open Network Manager > Edit Connection > Wireless tab > double-click your connection to edit it > make sure "Connect Automatically" box has a Tick-mark in it > Save and close > Done !

Thanks again to Hadaka for waking me up

That's correct. I just need to click the button manually.

And the 'connect automatically' box has a tick-mark in it but it's acting like it doesn't.

Hmm.. maybe then it is an issue of driver not getting ready in time. But just as a sanity check, have you saved the correct password and security type in Network Manager itself ?

If yes, please post the output of -

sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<your connection name>

CAUTION !! The above output will also contain your saved password. Remove or obscure it before posting the output here !

I saved the right info alright, I even re-entered it to be sure.

Here's the output:

Everything seems as it should be in the settings. Maybe we just need to delay the initiation of connection somehow. Unfortunately I don't yet know how to do it. I'll need to do some searching-reading on it. I suggest you do the same (how to delay wireless connection after resuming/rebooting).

Please remind me if I forget about this and no one else comes up with a suggestion either.

Hi, give this a try..
click your launcher...System Settings..Network..Wireless..(highlight YOUR ssid) then click..Forget Network
boot
when the system comes back up and says.."Network Connections Are Available" then click YOUR ssid
Enter your "password-key" connect.
then..click the wireless icon...next to the envelope..Edit Connections..Wireless..Your ssid..Edit
Click Connect Automatically.then configure exactly like the attached screen shots..
