I have my laptops configured with "traditional ifup" and set my WPA keys
with YaST. For different networks and keys I use the profile manager and
select the appropriate profile at boot. One of the main reasons I chose
this is that network manager does not accept WPA-PSK. But in addition, the
wireless is brought up at boot rather than at login. This has been far
more reliable.
