Have you enabled access point roaming in the network settings? It may be trying to connect to a different network or access point. It tells me which network it connects to because the password dialog shows it. It's the same wifi network over and over. (if the network is multi AP it may be a different AP, but then it could still reuse the access data instead of prompting me for it all the time.) Fedora had a similar issue and fixed it btw. It no longer does that (but it used to have the very same behaviour).

olav How did you configure your network? As system connection (all users can use it) or as normal connection where it's connected only when you log in? I saw such prompts when the connection was per user only. Configuring it to be system connection removed this problem. I'm using KDE tho'.. CC:

mageia "All users may connect to this network" is enabled. Sometimes when the laptop gets out of suspend and wifi reconnects, I get the same thing: I get a root password dialog to "change network settings" (which I cancel with no further bad effect) followed by a WPA2 user/pw dialog already filled out where I just need to press ok. Since the network is known, and there was no trouble connecting before (it just woke up from suspend and it's the first attempt) and the password is obviously still stored, those two password prompts are really useless. I just hit "cancel", "ok" with no further interaction and get a working wifi. Hello, this bug is still present in Mageia 4. As soon as wlan is either enabled first time after waking up from a suspend in range of a known network, or re-enabled after temporarily losing the connection, this happens: 1.) A root password dialog slams into my face (to change network settings it claims). Surprisingly, whether I enter the root password or click cancel doesn't make a difference whatsoever (I tried both), so this dialog really doesn't belong there in that particular situation. 2.) The wifi password dialog will pop up, with the password *already written* into it, also fullscreen with modal/focus stealing. (This happens no matter if you entered the root password in the previous dialog or clicked Cancel in it) Simply hitting enter there to get the annoyance out of my view will make Mageia proceed to finally (re)connect. Both dialogs are an annoyance, and both are really unnecessary: first one can simply be canceled with no difference, the second one has all data already filled out so I can brainlessly hit enter - why bother me in the first place, and more importantly, why bother on every single reconnect? Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago. http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia and reopen this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. -- The Mageia Bugsquad Status:
