I just noticed a warning icon saying I needed to re-log in in my systray. I 
just did, so I'm now definitely up on all the latest versions of things. kNM 
came right up and auto-connected to my network with no intervention on my 
part. 

On the password prompting, could it be a gnome-keyring-pam issue? If you don't 
know what this is, just google it - it allows you to set up auto-logging-in 
for things like NM
