Gnome Network Manager

Hello, all. Does anyone know how to make the Network Manager NOT
remember the login password on a wireless connection? It seems that
even though I've checked the box to ask for the password every time it
always remembers the password on subsequent wireless logons. From a
security perspective I think this is a bad idea. I would prefer to have
the password entry box blank for each wireless session logon. Thanks
for your time and comment. Sincerely,

you can disable NetworkManager , use ifconfig and iwconfig to config the
net.
So you'll have to know the root password to su (or sudo) the commands.

a nice way is to put a file containing the commands in the /root dir
(only accessible by root user) so you only have to become root to setup
the net (it takes 1 seconds).
Also, a normal user will not be able to read the password using iwconfig
because that command , run by a normal user, tells him _only_ the signal
strength details etc, _but not the password of the wireless network_

Hello, and thanks for the reply. What I really want to know, however,
is whether this can be done using the Network Manager. Sincerely,
