gnome-keyring is what I queried to see if my ssh key was loaded.  The
key got loaded without pam_keyring.  If you take pam_keyring out or
your gdm, reboot, login and do an "ssh-add -l" you should see your
keys there too.

My wireless is handled by wpa_supplicant and is a wpa2 key that is
embedded in wpa_supplicant.conf.  It seemed like the right way to go
because things worked better if the network was up during boot.
(Things like ntp could set the time.)
