SUMMARY
I began to notice this issue since yesterday. Whenever my laptop goes to sleep, Wi-Fi does not automatically reconnect. When I click the NM applet in the taskbar, it shows no connections.

I'm using KDE plasma.

When open the network connections ui, I get the following notification after the UI opens:

However, the weird part is that I can see all available connections from this UI and I can even connect to one of them using the `nmcli` command:

```
nmcli connection up <wifi_name> --ask
```

The above command is able to connect to a given wifi, but requires the `--ask` parameter otherwise it fails.

I've tried restarting `NetworkManager.service`, but that does not resolve the issue. As far as I can tell, the issue is with the `plasma-nm` app, and possibly a problem with the default dbus secrets manager on my system: kwallet.

Does it work if you also restart the plasmashell service?

This issue was resolved by simply downgrading networkmanager to 1.42.6. I had posted about the same problem on reddit, and that's where I got the hint to downgrade. Sorry, I didn't update the status earlier.
