Oh, sorry for that.  I meant 'net'.

While we're at it, what the heck is a 'lappy'? :-)  Just kidding.

If you've set up KWallet correctly the key is now stored.  You may run
'kwalletmanager' to check whether this is the case.  The wireless
network you have successfully connected is now stored in
~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc.  Whenever you start
KNetworkManager it will now pass the information about the network to
NetworkManager.  If the wireless network is around, NetworkManager will
try to establish a connection (as long as you're not a wired
connection).

That's the basic way it goes.  I have no idea if there are specific bits
in FC6 of which I am not aware.

And, there is no support for profiles in NetworkManager.
