Thanks for the delete .gnome2/keyrings and I have used it twice in a few 
minutes and the delete lets me AGAIN give the password to the router and 
then my system password to the god-dam keyring crap.

It works on Jaunty and I just got 8.10 WiFi working again by deleting 
.gnome2/keyrings. It allowed me to put in 2 passwords again.

I will save this delete trick so when it fails to get WiFi AGAIN, I can 
start over.
