So if we do lazy passphrase requests we'll have to make passphrase requests from NMI pretty much like the current "Enter a new WEP key" thing. ie, we can't connect to the access point until we have the passphrase/key, and so we need to wait for the user to unlock it. We'll have to set up another condition in the activation stages code to deal with this. I'll look into it when I get some time unless somebody else does first. Its a fairly large architectural/behavioral assumption change though, so we need to be careful. For the moment, feel free to go ahead and apply the patch to add the keyring stuff.
