KDE network manager does not remember passwords for WPA2 personal hot spots and 3G broadband devices

[Grigory Rechistov]

I am using Oneiric x86_64. Since migration from Lucid ($HOME was moved to new machine) KDE network manager applet does not remember passwords for certain types of connections, particulary for WPA2 and Broadband devices. It keeps asking for a password, and after I enter it manually it successfully connects to the net, but never remembers the data I entered so the next time the popup window for password re-enter will arise again.

Another symptom maybe somehow connected to this: when trying to edit network connections by hand I get an error window "No agents were available for this request" for such connections and the password field is empty for them after that.

Same exact problem on my laptop: I have the same issue regarding not remembered passwords, and the same "No agents were available for this request" pop up symptom.

2013-06-19: Still same problem. My home wlan is on the list, when I "edit" it, I get a message: "No agents were available for this request". Then I put the password. Nework works, but next time when I open my computer, does not work. Same process.

How can I get an update?
