I can confirm that it doesn't work with autologin. There's a bug already filled, bug #137247

And I too would like NM to work without the keyring. I can appreciate why the keyring is a nice idea, but in practice I've had so many problems with it I resorted to keeping all my network passwords in a plain-text file on my desktop... If it's safe enough to keep SSH's private keys in a permissions-protected file in my home directory, why isn't that good enough for NM?

I know this is for another bug report, but it would be even greater if NM worked even when I'm _not_ logged in in X. I'm always having lots of trouble connecting to the wireless network when I'm in single user mode (eg, if I need to get a package to fix my system). Is that in the works?
