I'm evaluating CentOS 5.4 for our company and one of our requirements is that it must also run on laptops. I've managed to get everything working so far except for wireless networks. The problem here seems to be that CentOS fails to provide a knetworkmanager package, and we're using KDE3 for various reasons. Thus, we're limited to Networkmanager-gnome which works but fails to save passwords in KDE3 and only works in Gnome. Of course kwallet is installed but requires knetworkmanager to work. The only solution I found so far was to log into Gnome, connect to the wireless network and save the password but that's certainly NOT an opion.

I guess the question is quite simple: how do I get NetworkManager to save passwords in KDE3? It's a critical issue and switching to Gnome is not an option either. Infact it's Novell's decision to ditch KDE3 and focus on KDE4 instead that made us turn our backs on openSUSE in the first place.

So, is it possible to solve this teeny-tiny problem some other way?

There was a thread, "NetworkManager won't save wireless keys", on this list on January 14, 2010. I don't know if it was your problem exactly. If you don't have the thread and would like it let me know & I will forward it to you. rkw

Thanks in advance, Martin
