Ubuntu 7.04 has a Gnome Keyring which stores my security key for the

Is there a way to stop the keyring asking for its password every time I
start the PC?

There should be an option somewhere but of course that would be bad
practice.
You can also try to use /etc/network/interfaces as you would on Debian.
Especially in the earlier versions I have found that much easier than
those graphical configuration managers. Maybe it's because my favorite
distro is Gentoo. In case it helps, here is my configuration:
/etc/network/interfaces
iface ath0 inet static
address 192.168.0.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
pre-up /sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -i ath0 -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d -Bw; sleep 8; screen -d -m
ping -i 15 192.168.0.1
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
auto ath0
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="****************"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP CCMP
psk=***************
scan_ssid=1
}
