Bug Description
Binary package hint: knetworkmanager
Typically, knetworkmanager uses kwallet to store passwords. It works very well for WEP keys but it doesn't for WAP Enterprise.
When I connect to WAP Enterprise, knm remembers the network (in Options>Show Networks) but it does not create an entry in kwallet (Kwalletmanager does not show it in knetworkmanager branch).
So, when knm attempts to connect to the network next time, it goes to infinite loop (or Very long timeout?).
Workaround:
1) Delete the saved network in Options>Show Networks
2) Switch to offline
3) Switch to online
4) connect to the same network
this time the dialog for entering the password pups-up.

That's a well known issue between kwallet and kdeinit.
It is fixed in feisty, since kwallet now writes all entries immediatly instead of on logout.
