(might be a duplicate of bug #375155)

1. KNetworkManager doesn't show any wireless networks after startup ("Available Wireless Connections" is empty)

That's intended. KNM shows only known Networks in its popup menu. For creating a new connection please use "New Wireless Connection".

2. Going to "Connect to other network" and "New Wireless Connection" gives me a list of detected networks - but it doesn't show up in KNetworkManagers "Available Wireless Connections" list

See above.

3. Choosing my own (WPA protected) Wlan does enter this into KNetworkManagers "Available Wireless Connections" list as WPA protected(!)

Did you select WPA-PSK as security-mode? Just click 'Next' after selecting the Essid and select the appropriate settings.

4. Connecting failed - Kwallet is not started and /var/log/NetworkManager says "Activation (wlan0/wireless): connection 'Daheim' requires no security. No secrets needed." (which is puzzlings since the "Available Wireless Connections" list does show it as secured.)

KWallet is not used currently. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There I would expect (K)NetworkManager to - know my previously defined wireless connections

Indeed nice to have.

- auto-connect to my preferred networks (it worked before!) - knowing about secured networks and using the proper credentials - fetching credentials from KWallet which held all data before

Sure.

It currently looks like (K)NetworkManager gives one a 'restart from scratch' experience after upgrade :-(

Nevertheless I do not expect to get such a feature for 11.0 as we have more severe problems to work on. Patches are of course welcome :) Adjusting summary, lowering severity. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
