[plug] fedora core 7 wireless networking

[William Kenworthy]

Well, I discovered network manager and it does connect - except the
machine has to have a user logged in to enter the keyring password
before it will do so.  Not desirable on what is to be a headless server
in the garage!  How do I bypass the keyring?  NetworkManager appears to
ignore the local wpa_supplicant.conf file and wants to store the key
"securely" :(
