Once you have successfully established a wireless network connection, Ubuntu will store these settings (including the network password) in order to make it easier to connect to the same wireless network in future. You may also be prompted to select a \emph{keyring} password here. The keyring stores network and other important passwords in the one place, so you can access them all in future by just remembering your keyring password.

In some circumstances, you may need to connect to a hidden wireless network. These hidden networks do not broadcast their names, which means that they will not show up in the list of wireless networks in the NetworkManager menu. In order to be able to connect to a hidden network, you will need to get its name and security settings from your network administrator.
