It correctly store the password into kwallet, but with a different name, so the result is that every boot, it asks the password again. I looked for other distros and they seem to suggest to set the connection available for every users. But that imo is not the right solution. Since the pc/laptop is just belonging one person is not a real problem, ofcourse, but that is a bug imo. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

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?

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
Summary: knetworkmanager asks for wireless password every boot => plasma-applet-nm asks for wireless password every boot

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.

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) :)

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.
