How to set up wireless for text mode login

I've got Fedora 10 on my home "server" with an old wireless B card 
installed. If I start X and run system-config-network I can successfully 
bring up the wireless network using Network Manager, so support for my 
wireless card is already built-in. But as soon as I "log off" and go 
back to run level 3 (I boot up in level 3 and start X by hand) it shuts 
down my wireless connection.

I'd like to set this machine up so the wireless network comes up 
automatically at reboot. I've got the router set up with WPA2 and AES so 
I need to store the key somewhere. Are there good instructions for doing 
this somewhere?
