Hi John,
Yeah I also use KDE and kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement to manage
network. I used to encounter this problem when I tried to connect to a
unpermitted network(e.g. WEP). But after buying a new D-Link and setting
up a new network, everything is OK. So I guess the main problem is that
you don't remember your password correctly. Maybe you can check your
password.
Good luck
Elvis Wang

Hello. I just installed Arch last weekend and have gotten KDE and
NetworkManager installed. I'm able to connect to unprotected and
WPA-protected wireless networks, but when I try to use a WEP-protected
one,
the NetworkManager applet keeps prompting for the password. I'm sure I'm
putting the right password in. Other computers are able to connect to
the
network. I've only been able to try one WEP-protected network so far. I

no idea what else could be wrong. Has anyone else had this problem?
I don't know the answer to your question offhand, but I suggest
providing the following info to narrow down the problem:
What make/model is your wireless card? (% lspci -vvv)
Do you get any wifi related messages in dmesg? (% dmesg)
Did it work with a different OS/distro on the same computer in the
past? Which OS?
Are any of the other computers running the same setup (Arch w/KDE and
NM)?
My guess is that if no one else is reporting the same problem, then it
is probably a kernel/driver/hardware issue, so knowing the specifics
of your wifi card will help a lot.
Cheers,
Tom
