Bug Description
network manager stores WEP keys in gnome keyring. this means it needs a password to be given to connect to a WEP network.
this seems like an unnecissary hassle.
there appears to be no way for NM to store WEP keys its self, or to grant it automatic access to the keyring

Upstream is planning to implement global configuration (ie: no more gnome-keyring) for 0.7
