On 11.4 it used to be KWallet which asked my a password for NM. With 12.1 it's a KDE-su like one.
Does anyone else has the problem? I'm writing from my notebook because my workstation isn't connected anymore.
I don't, with all my 12.1 installations. Try nm-applet if KDE fails.
The fantastic new completely refactored NM 0.9 now needs root privs to create or edit connections...
No, it doesn't. Only if you want to create a "system connection", that's the "make this connection available to all users" checkbox.
Unfortunately, this checkbox now seems to be the default. If you uncheck it, no root permissions are needed. This is not correct. I just tested it two ways. I deleted the home wifi. Select the home wifi. Popup for wifi password, system connection unchecked, connect automatically checked. Asks for root.
Delete wifi again. Select, and put in password, uncheck connect automatically. Commit change, asks for root again. Here is the screencap with details shown, and its policy kit number. http://wstaw.org/m/2011/11/20/nmneedsrootafterputtinginwifipassword.png -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.
