Bug 247044

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #243792 +++

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When attempting to connect to wireless (with password, specifically WEP in my case) on a system without KWallet enabled, duplicate forms are displayed followed by the system not even attempting to connect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I'm doing this from memory, so my button names, etc. might be slightly off.

1. Fresh system
2. Attempt to connect to wireless (with key) using any gui method in KDE
3. Notification appears asking if you would like to enable KWallet
-Select No
4. Form appears, this one asking for you to repeat the network information
-Simultaneously, the network toolbar item displays the connecting icon.
-When hovering over this icon, an alert says "Connecting" 
-When right-clicking this icon, an alert says "Awaiting authentication"
5. After filling out the repeated form and applying/closing it, the network toolbar icon goes back to disconnected state.

This process can be repeated indefinitely; the only step that changes is the KWallet notification, which does not appear after the first attempt.

Actual Results:  
System does not even attempt to connect.

Expected Results:  
System connects, but requires manually entering the key for each subsequent connection.

KWallet needs to make clear that it is REQUIRED, or the network manager should have an alternate authentication functionality.

To fix this problem, the user must enable KWallet.  (Really easy fix IF you realize what's going on.)

This is a very frustrating bug when you can't figure out why your connection information won't stick.

A FEW CORRECTIONS:

In step 3, it should say "Cancel" instead of "No".

In step 4, I reversed hover and right click; hovering yields "Awaiting
authentication" and right-clicking gives "Connecting".  Note that it isn't
actually attempting to connect at this point.
