Maybe you haven't enabled kwallet? .. knm3 remembered password and 
configuration fine for me.

To switch to knm4 you can do this for example.

1) zypper in NetworkManager-kde4
2) zypper rm NetworkManager-kde
3) Add 'Network Management' plasma widget
4) reboot

You probably shouldn't experiment with it, unless you have cabled network 
access nearby in case of problems.
