The title explains it. How do I stop NetworkManager for asking for my password every time I turn my computer on? It is really bugging me...

You need to install pam_keyring from AUR for NetworkManager to stop asking you for the password. There is a small catch though: your login password and the keyring password must be the same. After installing pam_keyring you will need to add the following lines at the end of /etc/pam.d/gdm:

auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
session optional pam_keyring.so

Reboot the machine and enjoy .

I know what you mean . I also tried different network solutions (wifiradar, networkmanager.....). Now i hate them all .
I switched back to standard network profiles via /etc/network-profiles and wpa_supplicant. At the beginning i thought it would
be more complicated with this cmd only tools but now i can't imagine a life without them.

I believe there was a post on an Ubuntu forum regarding this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s= … ostcount=1

Thanks! Installed pam_keyring from the AUR and now I don't have to enter the password.

I'm using KNetworkManager in combination to KWallet. I'm never asked about (gnome) keyring password. It really pissed me off to!

Anyone know how to get this to work with gdm autologin? I tried adding the two lines to /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin, but it just pops up with a strange box at startup that goes Autologin for (user)???? with a text input. Regardless what I put in this input, pressing OK will crash GDM and ask me to login.

Nevermind. Just got this back from the pam_keyring author:

Hi.

Pam_keyring can't work with autologin, because it needs the password
provided at login to use to unlock the keyring. Sorry about that. I
do not recommend this, but if you must use autologin and unlock your
keyring you can write a script to echo your password
into /usr/libexec/pam-keyring-tool. I do not recommend or support
someone doing this, as it is a very poor practice to have you passwords
sitting on your machine in cleartext.
