OK, you have convinced me.
I will never say a rude word about KDE wallet again.

But I still find NM's request for a password very annoying.
WiFi is my link to the Real World, and I just want it to start up
when I log in.

Actually I have Fedora set up to log me in automatically without password.
I do not suffer from the paranoia that seems endemic among IT gurus.
In my view the probability of any of my neighbours listening in
is negligible, and I have much more important things to worry about,
like my cholesterol level and global warming.
