I picked up a Cisco 851W wireless router to play around with (studying for my CCNA, and actually having Cisco gear to play with as you read the book helps A LOT
) but also have an existing wireless network from my Netgear router (which obviously, a $300 Cisco router puts to shame
). So, I've been doing a lot of switching between wireless networks as I configure things and need to be on a certain network to test and whatnot. Both networks use WPA.
Every time I switch the network I'm on, either from Cisco to Netgear, or Netgear to Cisco, from the Apple menu, OSX asks me to enter the password. I enter the network password, click "remember in keychain" (or whatever it says) and it connects. But it's not storing it in the keychain. Every time I switch back to that network, it asks me. I check that box, but it doesn't store it.
If I turn Airport off, either from the menu, or by putting my PowerBook to sleep and waking it up, it will connect to whichever network I was on last without asking me for the password. But if I manually switch, it will ask me, which, when switching every couple minutes sometimes, is extremely annoying. I did repair permissions, thinking maybe it couldn't write to my keychain file, but that didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks
