Yeah, this can definitely confuse users (first they have to enter a keyring password two times, then they have to enter a keyring password every time they want to connect to an encrypted network; just compare this with winxp).

Feisty should probably ship with a modified n-m version, which has an extra checkbox in the dialogue asking for the network encryption key if the user has admin privileges:

[x] System wide encryption key

This should be preselected so that the key is being saved in a safe location, which is not world readable.

If it is not being selected, the current behavior should be used.
