In general it should save your password automatically (I assume you use Fedora 10).

Maybe you should delete your WLAN from the connection list, connect, enter your password and just reboot and see whether it worked automatically.

Did you ever deny nm-applet or nm-connection-editor access to the Gnome Keyring?  Run 'gnome-keyring-manager' or 'seahorse' ('yum install gnome-keyring-manager seahorse' if you don't have them installed) and see if nm-applet and nm-connection-editor has access to the key in question. If all else fails, you can use the atom-bomb approach and 'rm -rf ~/.gnome2/keyrings' and then try to set the passphrase in nm-connection-editor again.

Should I? I only did the procedure as described below. (selecting my wlan in nm's wlan-list. I never have been prompted for keyring manager or such applications. > Run 'gnome-keyring-manager' or 'seahorse' ('yum install > gnome-keyring-manager seahorse' if you don't have them installed) and > see if nm-applet and nm-connection-editor has access to the key in > question.

I do *not* have this file.
