Description Oleg Solovyov 2025-06-03 09:19:41 UTC
If connecting to a WPA2-PSK access point, Plasma tries to connect once, and on failure requests user a new key instead of reconnecting in cycle.

WPA3-SAE should ask secrets too if the one stored in wallet does not fit.

You did not request anything.

She is asking for a more structured and detailed report, using the template that she provided (and which also should've been provided to you in the initial bug report form). You're missing at least:
- steps to reproduce: concrete step by step instructions how the bug can be reproduced,
- observed vs expected result: what actually happened vs what you expect to happen, and
- software versions in the environment where the bug was observed (the OS and Desktop Environment, any relevant libraries or apps, etc).

Without these, the bug report is not actionable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Comment 5 Oleg Solovyov 2025-09-24 12:18:52 UTC
It's probably NetworkManager - it's fixed locally but upstream don't want to accept my patch because it has problems I'm not able to resolve yet.
Comment 6 TraceyC 2025-09-24 16:57:41 UTC
Thanks for the additional details. Since you've confirmed this is an issue with NetworkManager, and you're working with upstream, I'll mark this appropriately. The fix will have to be in NetworkManager.
