Wireless Network Works But Not Auto Logon...help

I have a compal FT01 14.1" notebook that has opensuse10.3 and xp on it. under Xp, wireless works ok and will detect my router and logon to the network at bootup. under suse, the wireless does work but it will not auto logon and i have to manually enter the info. i am not sure why it does not remember the key password (linksys router). once i re-enter the password after bootup (using the wirelss icon in the taskbar), the computer connects to the network w/o any problems. is there anything i can do so that the computer "remembers" the password info everytime so i can connect automatically?

thanks

you can use kwallet to store the wep key
configure kwallet to start at boot

i am not having any luck with this. first off, i am using gnome desktop. is kwallet more for KDE?

in the package selector in yast, i see four different choices that i can pick from:

1) CASA-kwallet (1.7.758)
2) kde4-kwalletmanager (3.93.0svn712063)
3) pam_kwallet(0.1)
4) pwmanager (1.2.4)

which one do i use? is there a better choice for gnome?

dennis

for Gnome you use keyring manager for storing that info

i tried to do that in gnome but what happens is that when i go into the "edit wireless connections" at the taskbar, i then get a pop up window for the available networks that i log into, i then enter my password in the small pop up window, hit ok, and then the program freezes and then i have to wait and do a "force quit" in order to get out. it never stores my password. is there something that i can do about this problem?

if keyring manager is freezing, it's probably due to a bug in the software. try running it from a console to see if any error messages are displayed when it freezes
