[Bug 156413] knetworkmanager forgets association with AP after reboot

[Macavity]

Public bug reported:

knetworkmanager loads at startup and will connect to APs when selected
manually.  However, upon reboot, knetworkmanager 'forgets' the
association and one must manually select the network again.  There
doesn't seem to be a way to do the equivalent of Windows XP's
'Automatically connect to preferred wireless network.'

Unlike other similar bugs, knetworkmanager runs at startup, and there is
no problem connecting to the AP when selected manually.  It will even
remember the WEP key.  It just won't connect automatically!

This problem is specific to knetworkmanager. If I configure the
connection manually via modifying /etc/network/interfaces, I don't see
the problem.

It's not an issue with the card, as the problem occurs on two wifi cards
with completely different chipsets (rt2500 and prism54).
