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: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=19782&forum=40&post_id=74422#forumpost74422 Hope that helps.
