Have to enter password to connect after hybernate

Post by p10 »

Every time I wake up my laptop the network password box opens up. The password is already entered, and all I have to do is press OK (or connect). Is there any way around this problem? I did not experience this problem with Ubuntu 14.04.

This is the output of mintWifi.py:

This problem ony occurs when I am at work. There we have 3 accesspoints to our wireless network. They are set up to be identical. Could this be something that makes my laptop ask for the network password again? The problem seems to occour when I move between different areas, and accesspoints.
