How to avoid typing a password for the default keyring for wireless after booting Ubuntu every time

After booting an Ubuntu machine, you are asked to unlock the default keyring for some wireless connection, the simple solution to avoid this:

1. Edit the wireless connection (Right-click the "Network Manager" icon on the panel at the top-right corner of the screen and click "Edit Connections.", Click the "Wireless" tab at the top of the Network Connections window, Select the wireless connection by clicking its name in the list, Click the "Edit" button)
2. Click the "Available To All Users" checkbox at the bottom of the connection window.

Unfortunately I didn't find an equally effective solution using the shell commpand prompt.
