Thanks a lot Rex. I had to delete wicd again because it failed to save my 
password too. It actually saved the wrong password - for whatever reason 
it was stored something completely different not even remotely similar to 
my WPA key. I'll try that workaround next.

Thanks, I googled it and found it (Jan 14 by Kevin Kempter). I'll give 
wicd a shot.

Interesting. I've installed wicd but it seems to be saving the password 
wrong. I can connect and it does save something in the password field. 
However when I restart (or even simply logout and login again) it fails 
to connect until I manually update the password.

[CentOS] NetworkManager trouble with CentOS 5.4 and KDE3

2010-03-09 Thread Martin Jungowski
I'm evaluating CentOS 5.4 for our company and one of our requirements is 
that it must also run on laptops. I've managed to get everything working

I guess the question is quite simple: how do I get NetworkManager to save 
passwords in KDE3? It's a critical issue and switching to Gnome is not an 
option either. Infact it's Novell's decision to ditch KDE3 and focus on 
KDE4 instead that made us turn our backs on openSUSE in the first place.

So, is it possible to solve this teeny-tiny problem some other way?

Thanks in advance,
Martin
