[Solved] Nm-applet in Openbox doesn't save WiFi password

Hi guys!
In this days I'm working on a Openbox desktop on my eeepc 1005HA...

For the wifi connection I have to use network-manager because wicd doesn't work well with the encription of my university (WPA2 Enterprise Tkip + cert)...

But nm-applet every boot asks me the wifi pass! There are 3 days that I scan google and forums for a solution but I haven't found it yet....

I've already tried:
1) unlock keyring modifying as is written in the wiki (doens't work)
2) add gnome-keyring-daemon --start -c pkcs11 & in autostart.sh and then in rc.local (because so it starts before nm-applet)
3) adding source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus or export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID="openbox" in autostart.sh as i've read somewhere in the web, but nothing! Nm-applet don't save the password...

I don't know what try now....Someone has been able to get it work?

This is your first post and it is great! I read a lot of time the italian wiki and there isn't that section, and the english one I've read it only fast....

With this method all the others are useless! (pam.d ecc)

Thank you ! I have an Acer AspireOne 150L, trying archlinux for the first time. I have just been dealing with the same issue and came across your post, I wanted to help after I found a clue The english wiki is really helpful, I could find all that I'd been looking for. Cheers !   (Btw: turkish wiki is not that good either, wiki needs people like us to translate i think)
