Popup in NetworkManager

Hello all,

Sorry about bothering you with this simple matter but my search for this problem on Google hasn't yet been successful.

I've been using a dongle to connect my laptop to the Internet for a long time and it works fine. However, yesterday I accidentally clicked on one of the locked wireless networks that NetworkManager shows in a list. Since then, a window pops up regularly, asking me for a password to that network. No matter how often I click Cancel, it always pops up again after a few minutes. I can't find out how to disable those connection attempts. Can you help me?

I'm using Gnome, by the way.

All the best,
Olaf

Re: Popup in NetworkManager

You might try running the command nm-connection-editor and then deleting the wireless network in question from the wireless tab.  This should stop NetworkManager from continuously trying to reach it when in range.
