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.

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.
