So, pam_keyring seems to work just fine for laptop users which is the
general and 99% use case for encrypted wireless and VPN connections. As
a data point at least SUSE does something like this, other vendors too
I'm sure.

Once a nicer solution surfaces we can always replace pam_keyring.

But, yea, it's too late to do this for FC6. Sad.
