This is a small nuisance I've had in Ubuntu forever. When I set my computer to login automatically, Network Manager asks me for my keyring password every time it boots and it refuses to connect to the Internet until I enter it. Is there a reason for that?
Also, other network managers such as Connman don't have this problem, and I have noticed the latter also has an application indicator while NM-applet runs in the Notification Area. Are there plans to migrate to Connman, or to adapt NM-applet for Natty?

There is an option in Network manager not to use password. If you edit the connection, at the bottom of the page there is a box "available to all users" if you tick this it will not require a password.
To edit right click the icon, select edit Connections, select wireless,select your connection and click edit.
