Strange behavior of NetworkManager and keyring [Hardy and Gutsy]

I am running Ubuntu Hardy on one laptop and Gutsy on another. (the
latter is being upgraded to Hardy as I write this).

What concerns me is I cannot figure out why NetworkManager sometimes
asks for a keyring password, and sometimes does not. Specifically, on
one laptop it seems to always ask for keyring password, and on another
laptop it happily proceeds to connect to WPA without asking. I am
really glad that it is the case for the second laptop, as it is a 6 yr
old's laptop, but I want same behavior for my own laptop.

Note, keyring password is a password that unlocks the keyring where
real wifi passwords are stored. At no point I am re-asked to re-enter
my WPA password. Just the keyring one.

Any idea?

Ideally I would like NM to learn the passwords and just use them when
necessary, without asking for a keyring password.

Thanks

Did you create a profile in NM and save it?
