There’s currently a bug in Sabayon Linux that makes you re-enter your administrator password and network password for your wireless network every time you log in. Not only is this annoying it’s a time waster as well. Well, fortunately there’s an easy fix to it:

[main] plugins=keyfile

Save it, exit, and reboot. Now your wireless network should connect automatically without asking for a series of passwords.
