How to stop KDEwallet from asking you for a wireless password at login

I've always hated to effectively login TWICE just so's I can connect to my encrypted wireless network at home.

It means I can't leave my browser open when I shutdown, as when the desktop restarts along with my browser, it can't access the network until I've authenticated with the default wallet.

BUT I've found a way around that particular problem

What you need to is :

- bring up the KDE Wallet Configuration window (right click on the wallet icon in the systray)

- enable the Different wallet for local passwords option and create a new wallet for local passwords (kdeconfig1)

- Then click on the access control tab and delete any networkmanager entries from the list (walletconfig2) and click ok

- Then you need to left click on the wallet icon in systray to bring up the wallet manager

- click your default wallet (ie not the one you just created for locals) to view the password folders

- Then right on the network management folder and select the delete folder option

...

- Log out and back in again and when your desktop starts, network manager will ask you to open your wallet for local passwords at which time you'll click on the 'allow always' button and thereafter ... voila! you will be automatically connected to your wireless network. (at least it worked for me)




The password of the newly created Wallet should be left blank!!!

NB: You still need to enter a password to access the other encrypted passwords in your default wallet, but at least you don't have to worry about network access.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
