Hi all, just to inform all the KDE + NetworkManager users out there that I moved kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement to AUR.
I am trying this now and it seems to be a bit buggy and not really ready for prime time. I used it to connect to local wifi - worked fine. Left my laptop and returned a couple hours later. I am still connected - and the hover pop up shows the connection and correct SSID. However clicking the applet no longer shows an active connection section. No way to disconnect. There is a previous connection (also no 'unknown connections' section) but it had nothing useful (just a connection out of my list not used for years). After a few minutes the SSID I was connected to showed up in the 'previous connections' section - with a button to 'connect'. Clicking that, the connection was killed and re-establihsed and the 'active connections' section re-appeaed with the connected SSID now visible. The unkown connection section also re-appeared. For those not yet using this you may want to wait a while until it matures more. gene

You did, of course, file bug reports for all those issues, so that they will be fixed in the upcoming release. Technocratic terms like "software maturity" are wonderful at making you forget how things actually work... -- Gaetan

Yesterday all passwords were deleted or no longer visible/used by the applet. This may have been triggered by the updated package as it was working the day before. Did the default location for saved passwords move or have they all been lost? Bug filed upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326134 Version: kdeplasma-applets-plasma-nm 0.9.3.1-2 Thanks gene

I can still see previous passphrases in the directory: ~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/secrets Since nothing in that dir is recently dated I would assume the app is no longer looking in that dir and is now looking somewhere else - or the connection between the 'secrets' and the SSID has been lost somehow.

Unfortunately, upstream say this will happen for anyone not using kwallet (like me) as files are no longer supported - its kwallet only now. gene
