My understanding is that NetworkManager specifies the particular policy that polkit will enforce. And it is using the policy for shared connections. It should, instead, use the policy for setting up a single connection. In any case, there's a workaround. Go into the connection editor in KDE. Edit this connection. Go to the security tab. Look at the field where you enter the connection key. There should be two icons to the right. One icon looks like an eye. The other looks like a diskette. Click on the diskette icon. There should be a choice for where the encryption key is saved. As I recall, the three choices are: save for single user (that's kdewallet), save unencrypted in a file, and enter the key each time. What you want is to save unencrypted in a file. The actual file where it is save is managed by NetworkManager, and readable only by root. So it isn't as risky as it sounds. You will need the root password to make these changes. But, once changed, you should not need the root password to connect in the future. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
