[SOLVED] networkmanager does not save wireless passwords

Hi,

Right now, I am using gnome's nm-applet as the client for NetworkManager. However, it seems that nm-applet will not save network passwords, so I have to retype the password on each connection. I already have gnome-keyring installed, so I'm not sure what the issue could be. I read online somewhere that secrets are retrieved through polkit or something, but I am completely unfamiliar with polkit and such. Any suggestions?

thanks,

Well I guess I'll answer my own question.

I had to start nm-connection-editor as root and add my network with the password. Then I had to click "available to all users". That did the trick. Sure it's not a solution, but it gets the job done.
