In general it should save your password automatically (I assume you use Fedora 10).
Oh, my fault: It's Rawhide :-)
Maybe you should delete your WLAN from the connection list, connect, enter your password and just reboot and see whether it worked automatically.
I have had also this idea, but it didn't help.
Did you ever deny nm-applet or nm-connection-editor access to the Gnome Keyring? Run 'gnome-keyring-manager' or 'seahorse' ('yum install gnome-keyring-manager seahorse' if you don't have them installed) and see if nm-applet and nm-connection-editor has access to the key in question.
If all else fails, you can use the atom-bomb approach and 'rm -rf ~/.gnome2/keyrings' and then try to set the passphrase in nm-connection-editor again.

Hi,
I cannot store the pass phrase for my wireless lan in NetworkManager.
Procedure:
- left click on NM icon
- selecting my wireless lan
- entering my pass phrase
- connect successful
Later:
- right click on NM icon
- edit connection -> wireless
- selecting my connection -> Edit -> wireless security
- box for pass phrase is empty
- entering my pass phrase
- clicking apply
- closing window
Repeating this procedure, the in wireless security, there is no pass phase :-(
Is this a bug or is there an error in my procedure?
Thanks, Uwe

Seems to be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453880 (I´ve had the same issue in Rawhide - my wireless passphrases was not saved by nm-applet).
I *just* solved the problem by following the steps described by Rex Dieter (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453880#c11) in that bugreport except for installing gnome-keyring-manager since it seems to be gone in Rawhide.
In short, I removed ~/gnome2/keyrings and installed gnome-keyring-pam and did a logout / login. Now nm-applet is no longer prompting me for a passphrase. It also looks like it´s saved in the config now.
