[CentOS] NetworkManager won't save wireless keys

2010-01-14 Thread Kevin Kempter 
Hi all;

I'm running KDE 3.5 on CentOS 5.4

I have wireless working however every time I boot I have to enter the wireless 
key. Anyone know how to get NetworkManager to save the keys?

I've tried going to the 'edit connections' and adding the key there as well 
with no luck.


Thanks in advance

gnome-keyring stores the keys on (of course) gnome.  Do you have
something similar on kde that is, perhaps, either not installed or
disabled?

I have kwallet installed but the KDE NetworkManager seems to not be using it

I think this is because NetworkManager is really a gnome application. 
Here's how I have my laptop set up to automatically authenticate using 
KDE...

If you have gnome installed, log into gnome, set up gnome-keyring and 
store the key there and make sure it's working.

Then, log into KDE and use nm-applet. If you use the same password for 
your keyring as you do to log in (not always the best idea security 
wise), you can then configure pam_keyring to use your login password to 
automatically authenticate you on the wireless network using your stored 
keys.

Details for configuring pam_keyring can be found here:

Hope that helps.
