Bug Description
Kubuntu/Dapper: My router is setup to use WEP in connection with hidden SSID, which is a pretty common scenario, I guess. I connect to it from knetworkmanager using the "connect to other wireless network" option and filling in my SSID and WEP key. Establishing of the connection works then.
The problem occurs on the next KDE launch:
1. Although knetworkmanager accesses kwallet it doesn't display my once configured SSID on the list of available networks -- it should be there, that's why it has been configured and secured with kwallet
2. If I try to connect to it using "connect to other wireless network", I have to fill in the SSID and WEP key once again -- why, what is the kwallet for?

This problem shows up with unencrypted hidden-SSID networks with the gnome nm-applet interface as well.
