This has nothing to do with root privileges, you are prompted this message because nm-applet wants to use the wifi key (WEP i guess) stored in the keyring. What is the gnome-keyring?
mm-applet
Passphrase required by wireless network – A passphrase or encryption key is requred to access wireless network linksys
to disable by delete /home/YOUR NAME/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring
if connect to other AP then mm-applet and Passphrase may appear again then you can do from terminal
you could ignore it and enter
iwconfig wlan0 ESSID " " mode Managed key .... and it's still working
in case the icon for wireless disappear can bring it back by Computer > Filesystem > usr > bin"
then double click to run "nm-applet
