WiFi stuck "waiting for authorisation" - never connects - WiFi dongle

General system Newbie
1

I tried multiple different dongles, so I conclude the issue is my desktop.

I am fully updated with all packages. The chipsets of all the dongles I tried are covered by current kernel.

I use KDE, and I conclude, based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29594260/how-to-disable-kwallet-in-kde-plasma-5 that it is the fault of the KDE wallet, however, I can’t find a way to disable it on KDE5 under EOS.

Edit: I need to find where KDE Wallet is saved to delete the file, if I understand correctly there is some kind of corruption.

Can anyone help?

A really easy fix that I would recommend trying (if you haven’t already) is to restart your router/access point.

You mention you’re using KDE with all updates, so likely you’re using plasma 6. You should be able to disable the wallet: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet#Disable_KWallet

nano ~/.config/kwalletrc
[Wallet]
Enabled=false

Although when I tested I noted that mine actually read

[Wallet]
First Use=false
