Whenever I connect to my Wifi network, this annoying "authentication required by Wifi network" window pops up, with my wWifi password in it. All I have to do is to press the Connect button. Still I think this is an incorrect behavior, and I'd like to know if there is a fix.
Please note that I have "Allow all users to connect" checked and "Connect automatically" checked too. My network adapter is a Broadcom one, and is using a proprietary driver, which I enabled from Additional Drivers. The system is a fresh install.

  • Remove all connections from network manager and restart then let network manager find your connection itself and see if that fixes it.

Try checking the box next to MTU in the Wifi Configuration menu so Automatic is selected:

Click on Wifi panel indicator > edit > select the network you want > edit > wifi; MTU is at the bottom of the window.

  • I don't see the MTU option under my wifi connections. I only see the MTU option under my wired connection.

I solved the problem by connecting from network directly. go to system settings -> network -> wireless then connect to your network. I hop it will be fixed.
