Hello Joghum,

If I log in to my laptop, WiFi connection ask for the WiFi password. How can I prevent that, and enable WiFi connection for all users on login, without having to enter passwords? Open the management menu of the network manager, select the desired network, and on the 'General settings' Tag you find a point 'All users are allowed to use this network'.
Is that the setting you are looking for?
HTH Axel I tried that already, but the setting is not persistent: as soon as I leave this dialog, the setting is disabled again. Maybe I have to do that as root?
regards, Jogchum No, but you're on the right track. You also have to set the WPA2

That is correct - once you select "All users may connect to this network" - NM should ask for root password (in my case it does). It needs the permission to write the password in plain text to: /etc/NetworkManager/system- connections/SSID file.
if you cannot get it done with your desktop NM GUI applet - you can also do it on the command line using: nmtui That can be run from command line as root using sudo - though it should also ask for root interactively when it needs it.
Those files are/should be RW for root only.

It is after I set the password in the WiFi security tab that I am asked for the root password, not after selecting "All users may connect to this network" . But now it works and keeps working the way I wanted it to do - many thanks to you and Axel for setting me on the right track! regards, Jogchum may connect to this network"
