Remember, resolv.conf can change at any time when you do stuff like turn on your VPN. The issue you had is no different than if you started the VPN and your machine crashed.

Or is it actually asking for your gnome-keyring password because the driver has failed to connect to your wifi AP, which means either your password is wrong or the driver sucks? dan -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
