The password is present in a file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
Looking at the file, I see no password stored there (thankfully).
Mine are. The files are readable only by root, but are plain text. I could symlink the file to be stored in my encripted partition.
The idea of having the root password stored in clear text is mind-boggling, even if only root can read it.
I never said the root's password.
That's right, you didn't, but that is the topic here. The wifi access password has not been mentioned. The pop-up window asking for the root password started appearing after I enabled "All users may connect". There was never any problem with the wifi access other than it slow to connect. I'll disable "All users may connect", it didn't do any good.
Some people got the prompt for the WiFi password previously because kwallet was not accessible, I think. It has to ask for the root password to do changes, but I don't see why it wants to do any change. I suggest you try XFCE, set it up there. There is no wallet. Verify that those files contain the WiFi password in plain text. If it works with no prompt on boot, then change back to KDE. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
