Network manager won't auto-login

I've followed the other threads that showed how to configure pam to have it automatically connect to my wifi network without having to re-enter the password on every reboot. For the life of me, I can't get it to work as no matter what I do I still have to enter my password. My wifi pass is the same as my login pass. I also tried deleting the keys in the .gnome folder. I'm using F8 and KDE. It looks like it works from my var log file though.

Code:
Mar 11 18:32:44 localhost gdm-binary[2663]: pam_keyring(gdm:auth): pam_keyring: starting gnome-keyring-daemon
Mar 11 18:32:44 localhost gdm-binary[2663]: pam_keyring(gdm:auth): pam_keyring: unlocking keyring
Mar 11 18:32:44 localhost gdm-binary[2663]: pam_keyring(gdm:auth): pam_keyring: going to execute /usr/libexec/pam-keyring-tool -u -s
Mar 11 18:32:44 localhost gdm-binary[2663]: pam_keyring(gdm:auth): pam_keyring: PASSWORD successfully unlocked the default keyring
Anyone have any pointers?

Just a guess: Create a profile in Wlan Assistant and add it to Sessions

Thanks for the help. I probably should've clarified. Fedora remembers my WPA2 password but it only connects after I enter the password to unlock the key ring.

Can you tell me how to create a profile and add it to the sessions?

I meant create a wireless profile in Wlanassistant the go to System-Preferences-Personal-Sessions and add wlanassistant to the program list.

DM, I've tried both ways. The one from your web site and by editing the pam config file. Both ways keep asking me for the key ring password on every boot (nm-applet).

I just looked again, since your using KDE they implemented the gnome-keyring function in KDE. If you want to automate the opening of the "default-keyring" in KDE, delete your existing
default-keyring. Reboot the computer, the next time it asks for the default-keyring password leave it blank and hit enter. This not the most secure way and ONLY use it if you're the sole user of the computer.

The problem is that it says the password can't be blank.
