Hi,
I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 then immediately upgraded to 9.10. My laptop has Linksys WPC300N PCMCIA wireless adapter so during installation bcm43-fwcutter and BroadcomSTA linux driver were automatically installed. I have no problem with wired connection. However, I keep seeing the "Authentication required for wireless network connections" popped up, even though SSID and WPA/WPA2 passphrase were entered correctly initially. I hit CANCEL then Network manager shows "Wireless Network" disconnected, then the Wifi or stairstep icon appears. When there's no cable connection, wireless works fine. Just noticed that only 1 light (Power) shows on the card. It just bothers me that the "wireless authentication required" screen keeps popping up and interferes with my typing.
Not sure if this problem has anything to do with keyring manager. I did uninstall then reinstall NetworkManager and NetworkManager-gnome but problem still persists. I would much appreciate your help.
