I've managed get gnome-keyring to shut up up, with autologin. I don't use 
encrypted partitions, but I do not believe this is a factor.

Install the "seahorse" package. This adds "Passwords and Encryption keys" in 
the accessories menu. Here's where my recollection is a bit murky, but what 
I think I've done is use seahorse to delete the existing keyring, create a 
new one with a blank or empty password. The first time around the block I 
had to reenter my wireless password, but from that point on I boot, 
autologin, and get wireless up without having to enter a password. I've done 
this on several laptops, so I know it's possible, but don't recall some of 
the details of what I had to do in seahorse.
