Seems to be related to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453880 (I´ve had the same
issue in Rawhide - my wireless passphrases was not saved by
nm-applet).
I *just* solved the problem by following the steps described by Rex
Dieter (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453880#c11) in
that bugreport except for installing gnome-keyring-manager since it
seems to be gone in Rawhide.
In short, I removed ~/gnome2/keyrings and installed gnome-keyring-pam
and did a logout / login. Now nm-applet is no longer prompting me for
a passphrase. It also looks like it´s saved in the config now.
