Have you considered opening up seahorse
(Applications|Accessories|Passwords and Encryption Keys) and checking
and/or deleting the keys there?

I am quite certain that you've been adivsed about this previously.

If you do that, you will most likely (on any normal new 9.10 install)
see an entry along the lines of 'Network secret for xyz' network if
you've added one.
