Wifi keeps prompting for password
Hey my wifi keeps prompting for the WPA2 password. Is there something that I need to do with Network Manager?

Do you mean that you can connect to the WiFi network just fine, but it keeps wanting to pop up a dialog for the password except with the password already filled in? This keeps happening for me on one specific network. (Which happens to be our new home WiFi network, making this really annoying. We moved about a month ago, and the CenturyLink tech gave us a new router/modem combo. Our old router was from the 802.11n draft days.) It usually happens when it reconnects to the WiFi after opening the laptop lid, but sometimes it doesn't, and the other day it kept doing it intermittently with it open.

You need to explicitly call the dhclient and make it assign your wifi an IP.

This works on Ubuntu 14.04.

The problem may be that netctl is still controlling your network connection.
This worked for me
# systemctl disable netctl-auto@[interface_name].service
You may also have to run the "systemctl stop" command for this as well.

I'm not sure, but also remember you're 2 years late on this answer and two major versions ahead of the OP. 12.04 may be different.

You need to explicitly call the dhclient and make it assign your wifi an IP.
sudo dhclient wlan0.
This works on Ubuntu 14.04.

DHCP errors aren't the cause of the need for re-authentication.

My guess, why it kept asking was because it could not get an IP. That's why I suggested. I had the same issue on my Ubuntu. It worked with this.

If it can't get an IP address, it shouldn't ask for the password. It'll just auto-assign one.

The problem may be that netctl is still controlling your network connection.
This worked for me
# systemctl disable netctl-auto@[interface_name].service
You may also have to run the "systemctl stop" command for this as well.

Hm. Do you use
torrent? I had similar thing. My WiFi router got down any time I downloaded torrents. Maybe it's the same thing here?– Melon
Mar 3 '13 at 21:46
No trorrent, pretty much just the default install package. Anyone know where all controls the wifi by default and where logs are kept.

Do you mean that you can connect to the WiFi network just fine, but it keeps wanting to pop up a dialog for the password except with the password already filled in? This keeps happening for me on one specific network. (Which happens to be our new home WiFi network, making this really annoying. We moved about a month ago, and the CenturyLink tech gave us a new router/modem combo. Our old router was from the 802.11n draft days.) It usually happens when it reconnects to the WiFi after opening the laptop lid, but sometimes it doesn't, and the other day it kept doing it intermittently with it open.
