How to avoid typing a password for the default keyring for wireless after booting Ubuntu every time

After booting your Ubuntu, you are always asked to unlock the default keyring for wireless connection, the simple solution to avoid this:

Step 1: delete the following two files:

default.keyring
login.keyring

Find the two files at Place--> Home Folder
.gnome2/keyrings/

Or In Terminal, type the command:

rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/*keyring

Step 2:
Next time, if it asks to type a default key for the keyring, just left it as blink, and choose unsafe storage.

here is a better solution

1. Edit the wireless connection (Right-click the "Network Manager" icon on the panel at the top-right corner of the screen and click "Edit Connections.", Click the "Wireless" tab at the top of the Network Connections window, Select the wireless connection by clicking its name in the list, Click the "Edit" button)

2. Click the "Available To All Users" checkbox at the bottom of the connection window.

Great solution!!

I'm new to Ubuntu so I didn't want to modify configuration files. Clicking the checkbox in the connection window was by far the easiest and best solution I found on the web.

Thanks!!
