Description of problem: knetworkmanager doesn't remember WEP key between connections to an access point. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): knetworkmanager-0.1-0.3.svn20060625.fc5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use knetworkmanager as a front end to Network manager. 2. Connect to a wireless access point using WEP. 3. Try to connect again. Actual results: knetworkmanager doesn't save the WEP key/passphrase between sessions and you must manually type it in when requested each time you connect. Expected results: Once you connect to an AP, any time it is in range it connects automatically, without prompting the user for the WEP key. Additional info: The first time I ran knetworkmanager, a kwallet setup wizard popped up. I set up a wallet with no password (the only wallet I have; I had not used it before). The kwallet status icon indicates a wallet is open. Additionally, every once in a while kwallet pops up a dialog stating that some application continually tries (and fails) to access a wallet.
the wep keys get stored in kwallet, and i believe that you can not use it passwordless as it uses the password for the encryption it uses to store the passwords. I suggest that you create a new wallet and give it a password.
as no feedback has been reported, i am closing notabug, assuming that correctly setting up a kwallet corrected your issue
