Description of problem: I've go to drakconnet for forget a wifi conection that don't use, but I can't a option for forget this wifi conection without delete the conection interface. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Nageia 7 - Drakconnect. How reproducible: Go to drakconnect and try forget a wifi connection. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to drakconnect. 2. Select wifi connection 3. I don't find the option for forget this connection.
I cannot find the host package for this: it is *not* in drakxtools as it suggests; and I have no WiFi to investigate your problem. So please can you clarify: - Whether the option you ask about was present in Mageia 6? - Or are you asking for such an option? If you do '# drakconnect -h' it outputs its options (not definitive), among which is '--del' = Wizard to remove a network interface. This seems to correspond to Mageia Control Centre - Network & Internet - Manage your network devices, there is 'Remove a connection' (which raises drakconnect). Does this not do what you want?

No, I don't think this option was in Mageia 6 either. What I'm saying is that there should be an option to forget a wifi without having to remove the entire interface, because if I have several saved wifi connections and remove the interface, I delete them all, and what I want is to delete or forget a wifi connection without erasing the others. (the style of what you can do in android and also in Windows, which I do not like to say ...). Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator Thanks and greetings.
Thank you for the clarification, and apologies for asking something which would be obvious to a wifi user. Changing the bug to an enhancement request as in comment 2 ; without knowing whether it is possible.

You can delete it manually by editing /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, but yeah I don't know of a way to do it through the GUI; it would be nice.
Yes, Thats what I mean. It should have a GUI option for forget a conection wifi. I think that it would be fine for the wifi users and the new users for Mageia
Any news on this? Is there a development plan for this? Greetings!
Today, I tried to install networkmanager with the help of a fellow in Mageia telegram group. It is easy to install it and I have been able to verify that with networkmanager I can "forget" a wifi network, without having to delete the entire interface. It would be very difficult to replace the network Mageia applet with networkmanager ?? For Mageia 8? Greetings!!
Hi, This remain unresolved. We are about to see the release of Mageia 8, so we should consider this bug will don't solved to release of Mageia 8? And, We should consider as new request for Mageia 9? Greetings!!

Unresolved since Mageia 7.... I have seen that if Plasma is installed from the live version, the plasma connection manager is installed instead of netapplet. A user who wants to "forget" a Wi-Fi will find that they cannot do so with the current configuration in Mageia, installing from any ISO other than Live. Furthermore, it creates confusion that one package is installed in some ISOS and a different one in others.
Any news about this? Pherhaps, we should change to Networkmanager that it have this funcionality.
