Thanks for the reply. I've tried the connection editor. Although it
asks me to enter the password, I haven't found that it stores the
result anywhere. What I'm really trying to do is to edit the actual
"connection profile" in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.
Somewhere I read that psk-flags should be 0 to store a password but
the connection editor always sets that to 1.
It's possible that the problem stems from the KDE wallet. I haven't
set it up and find it annoying that it seems to be required.
