vostros are wonderful machines

(i am being serious) weird tho we never get this problem at work weve been using the vostros since they came out.
They keep the keys stored all the time.... maybe its just a specific problem with yours ? Id contact dell about it if i were you.
Out of interest what vostro model did you get ? we get the cheap amd ones here although one member of staff has a more expensive 14 inch model with a c2d and other ridiculous hardware hehe.
Also have you power cycled your wireless access point yet. Youd be amazed how often this fixes conneciton issues.
