mageia I found that a file ifcfg-$SSID is saved into /etc/sysconfig/network-script with a UUID. Now every boot and after a new connection, a new ifcfg-$SSID-n where n increases by one every boot, and the UUID changes. Cannot reproduce. Only one /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$SSID exists, with the same UUID as in kwallet. Connection is not configured to let all users connect, but automatic connection is enabled. Apart from that, topic mentions knetworkmanager - we don't have that in our repos. Are you referring to plasma-applet-nm, the plasmoid for networkmanager? CC:

doktor5000 yes the plasma-applet-nm So I guess a prerequisite for trying to reproduce this issue is to use NM instead of net_applet? Source RPM:
knetworkmanager =>
plasma-applet-nm I have another laptop at home i'll try to reproduce there too

Yep. See https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5782 on how to basically switch between net_applet and networkmanager. I followed last comment by doktor5000: echo "AUTOSTART=FALSE" > ~/.net_applet killall net_applet sudo urpmi networkmanager-applet plasma-applet-nm sudo systemctl start NetworkManager.service; sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager.service systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service sudo systemctl status NetworkManager.service sudo apart :) But it seems not to work for me :( I usually switch completely to using NetworkManager. For that I have to edit the file: /etc/Networkmanager/Networkmanager.conf leaving there only "keyfile": [main] plugins=keyfile Then I switch to using NetworkManager: systemctl disable network.service systemctl disable network-up.service systemctl enable NetworkManager.service systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service systemctl enable ModemManager.service* reboot * Modemmanager is needed if you have mobile broadband hardware.

jyri2000 (In reply to Angelo Naselli from comment #7) > sudo apart :) But it seems not to work for me :( Does not work means what exactly? I mean that the behavior is still the same i need to add the password any time i connect to the same wifi Did you consider wiping your kwallet config and keys and let them be recreated fresh? That would be ~/.kde4/share/config/kwallet* ~/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet/kdewallet.* You may need to logout afterwards to properly restard kwalletd and to restart it like in a regularly started session. Mayve this evening before going home i'll do some tests on that. But i cannot understand why the problem should be due to kwallet, as far as i can say a new connection with a new UUID is created every time on comment #11, nope that does not change anything... but now i have lost all the password saved (as i expected) :)

kde Hi Angelo, Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue! We regret if this issue didn't get fixed. Closing as OLD, because Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It only continued to get important security updates since then, but non-security bugs have no chance of still getting fixed.
