Did you test nm-applet? I could not try the new plasma-nm, but with nm-applet
I'm seeing the same behavior of NetworkManager when I try to setup a WPA2
enterprise connection. So this might be a bug in NetworkManager itself instead
of plasma-nm.
Tested with nm-applet and it saved the password fine, into
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-WWOOD3 . So now
kde-plasma-networkmanagement looks there for the password so it no
longer asks for the key.
This brings me to another issue. I notice that it doesn't matter if the
NetworkManager User Settings Service is running not for
kde-plasma-networkmanagement to work. And nm-applet also works with it
running where before it would complain that another program was already
using NetworManager, Is this expected in 4.6.4 ?
