Well, this might be relevant --- I am not using KWallet, everything is stored 
in plain text file (whichever that file is by default).

The thing is, I am the only user of this machine, and I have a whole chain of 
passwordless things happening --- autologin into KDE on boot, automatic 
connecting to wireless (which now doesn't work), autostart of skype, firefox, 
kmail, which then automatically log in to various other things on the net, 
check mail for me, etc...

Basically, I boot up the machine, make some breakfast, and walk back into a 
fully working system which has logged into everything, checked my e-mail, 
started downloading torrents, etc.

The thing is, somehow I could not make KWallet work without explicitly asking 
for the password on every boot. This basically breaks the whole setup, so I 
have shut it down and used the plain-text version, which Just Works, no 
questions asked. Maybe KWallet could be beaten into compliance somehow, but it 
wasn't obvious and I didn't bother to do research about that. Shutting it down 
was just simpler to configure.

OTOH, I have the problem with KDE network applet even when connecting to new 
AP's, for the first time, when I am supposed to be asked for a password and 
provide it. The applet simply never finishes configuring the wireless IP etc. So 
my guess is that this issue is independent of my KWallet configuration.

Best, :-)
