I am a KDE user as well. I have my WiFi security set to "Store password for this user only (encrypted)". When I activate the connection I am prompted for my kwallet password and the connection is made without asking for the WiFi password. So, in my case there is no issue. The WiFi password is being retained. If you bring up kwalletmanager5 you should see an entry for "Network Management". This is where WiFi and VPN "secrets" are kept in the Maps area. Your WiFi connection should have a name. And that name should (in most cases) match a name in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. For example, one of my WiFi connections is "asus2" and in the network-scripts directory I have a ifcfg-asus2. Looking at that file there is a UUID line. UUID=8eef1e08-095e-4fb2-8dab-50ef1c19a114. This line matches a line in the Maps area and there exists a "psk" Key. Do you have something similar? -- Cardinal Rule of Presentations: "Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them."
