Bug Description

Binary package hint: plasma-widget-networkmanagement

I have NetworkManagement set to store connection secrets unencrypted (in a file). Although my wireless connection is set to "connect automatically", it doesn't actually do this. After booting or resuming I have to manually click the wireless network for it to connect. In Maverick, the "Connect Automatically" feature worked great.

This bug is related to Launchpad Bug #760432, but I am creating a new bug because that one is marked as "Fix Released", and is indeed partially fixed. I am running fully updated Kubuntu 11.04 (installed beta 2).

Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
Release: 11.04

plasma-widget-networkmanagement:
  Installed: 0.9~svngit20110408-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.9~svngit20110408-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 0.9~svngit20110408-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

What you expected to happen:
After selecting my connection to connect automatically, it should connect to the wireless network without my intervention if it is available. This is how it worked in 10.10.

What happened instead:
Although the network is visible, I have to manually click the entry in the widget popup for it to connect.
