Mikkel's reply hopefully helped you to get the startup order right.
Alternatively, you may be able to not use the wpa_supplicant service
directly if you use NetworkManager.  I have an ipw3945 in my laptop
and use NM to connect to my wireless network using WPA2.  I don't have
the wpa_supplicant service enabled.

I'm running FC6 and have pam_keyring-0.0.8-3.fc6 installed.  My
/etc/pam.d/gdm file looks like this:

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required    pam_env.so
auth       optional    pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
auth       optional    pam_ssh.so try_first_pass
auth       include     system-auth
account    required    pam_nologin.so
account    include     system-auth
password   include     system-auth
session    optional    pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    include     system-auth
session    required    pam_loginuid.so
session    optional    pam_console.so
session    optional    pam_keyring.so
session    optional    pam_ssh.so

The two relevant lines I added are:

auth       optional    pam_keyring.so try_first_pass

and

session    optional    pam_keyring.so

I don't recall if there was anything else I needed to install or tweak
to get this working, I don't think there was.  Hopefully someone will
smack me with the clue stick if I'm forgetting anything important.

Check the list archives for pam_keyring and you will hopefully find a
few other discussions on getting this to work.  I've had it working
since FC5 and it's quite handy.

Good luck!
