Keyring Access??

[Joel Goguen]

It could be because networking starts before Gnome loads.  If it's
specifically asking for the root password, that would be my guess.  I
installed pam-keyring right away, before this was a problem for me, so
I don't know.  The wiki page at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo in the "Avoiding
password nagging" section has directions for setting it up.  The
downside (or benefit for some people) is that the keyring password
must be the same as the user's password.
