Keyring Access??

[Mike Adolf]

Thanks for the replies, but the gdm edit did not work. From what I read
you should not need the pam fix if you are using WEP, which I am.
Somehow the nm-applet thinks I am using WPA?  Maybe it has something to
due to my using ndiswrapper to get the wlan working? Who really knows
when it comes to networking!
