That is from 2006, it is not recent.

It you look, this person is talking about a problem with Network  
Manager in Fluxbox, and states that it does not act like it did in  
Gnome... he farther states that it was working fine in Gnome.

I suggest you try a clean install and make sure you set a password for  
the user. At that point it should not ask for your keyring password.  
The only time I have ever been asked for my keyring password in recent  
history was after logging logging in with a fingerprint reader, and  
the password was still the same as my user account. I do not use a  
wired connection on my Linux machine.
