kwallet needs password at startup of knetworkmanager

I am running kubuntu 7.1 i386 with knetworkmanager connecting to a wireless network. After I login, kwallet prompts me for the password to open for knetworkmanager. how can I add knetworkmanager as a recognized application for kwallet so I don't have to enter the password at boot?

Unfortunatelly you can't - kwallet would ask for password on the begining of each new session - if it's of any comfort to you you need to enter your kwallet password only once and all applications allowed to always access kwallet would use that login.

On the other hand, reason for this behaviour is that kwallet is not "smart" enough to recognize person in front of your computer so this is just a one more security precaution - it may be bothering most of the time but still kind a protection you need as a Linux user.
