Hello! I use an Arch Linux distro with KDE on an ASUS X570 board that has built-in wifi. The issue is that I can’t for the life of me get the wifi to work without asking me for the wifi password what feels like every hour. The hardware is active, the software is active, Network Manager is active, the wifi profile is fine, the SSID is fine, the security type is set properly, the password is saved and set to use for all users. I’ve tried restarting Network Manager, installing Network Manager with iwd backend, updating my system, restarting my system, and using nmtui to force home wifi.

Help

    I just apt uninstalled kwallet on my systems, or used the options in systemsettings to disable the subsystem.

    I believe if you manually edit the wireless network and set it as “available to all users” that will also work around this, though resulting in the password being stored in plaintext in one of the NM config files

      Unfortunately, several other programs use this as a dependency and some of those programs are required by stuff like plasma-meta.
