Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

Having incorrectly typed the WPA key when attempting to connect to a wireless network, I discover there is no way of changing this information without happening to know that this information is being stored in the Gnome keyring. There is no UI within network manager allowing you to change or delete credentials, or even a guide to the user on how to rectify the situation.

... and please capture /var/log/syslog for a full-session that reproduces this bug:
  1. aka try to connect to network
  2. type wrong key
  3. try to connect two times then (where the key dialog doesn't pop up).

Thanks,

Not me - my WPA network is in another continent and I'm not running gutsy yet.

i set this to won't fix as its not network-managers mission to allow users to tweak network details.

maybe network-manager 0.7 will support something that helps you though. So stay tuned.

Is there a way to also see your Current computer name, and user name so If I am trying to connect to a Microsoft network I can see my current computer name, and login name? I think it would help with configuring my Ubuntu settings.
Thanks
Dave
