[SOLVED] Wireless networking in KDE

Hi, every time I want to connect to my wireless network, I have to do:
-sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "mynetworkname" key "mykey"

That's pretty annoying to keep doing every time I start up. I installed "kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement" but I'm pretty sure I didn't do something properly because it didn't make a difference.

My rc.conf has this for daemons:
-DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network crond dbus !wicd net-auto-wireless)

What should I do?

Why aren't you using the wicd? :-) this one works perfectly over here.

It worked sometimes and sometimes not for me =[

Anyways, I figured it out... I feel like an idiot for not thinking about putting networkmanager in the startup daemons...

Haha! :-) It can happen to the best of us. I had a similar problem with my sshd daemon :$
