--- Comment #17 from Wolfgang Bauer <wba...@tmo.at> ---
Sorry for reopening, but I experimented with this a bit, and there do seem to
be some strange things going on, unrelated to the polkit rules setup.
First of all, everything works fine when the wireless password is stored
system-wide.
Unfortunately there's a bug in Qt5 (fixed in 5.6) that prevents you to click on
the disk icon in the "Wireless security" settings to change the password
storage, you have to resize the window first to be able to.
Not a bug in plasma-nm though, of course.
If the password for the shared connection is stored in kwallet, and the
password for the wallet is empty, everything works as expected too.
There's no need to enter the root password, even if the wireless password is
not stored yet and has to be asked when connecting.
But: if the wallet is protected by the password, and the wallet has to be
opened, the *root* password is requested (for *modifying* the shared
connection).
Of course, changing the polkit rules to allow modifying the connection would
prevent that, but IMHO that's only a workaround.
Oh, and what's especially strange: you can just cancel the polkit root password
request without entering the root password. The connection will still be
successfully established.
So this root password request is bogus anyway.
To me it looks that plasma-nm is indeed doing something wrong.
