    Fully updated KDE neon 5.27, User's Edition, Wi-Fi issue

    Folks,
    "Enable Wi-Fi" box checked in tray panel icon's right click, but it dos not hold . It is annoying that on every start-up, one has to check the box for connection.
    Any way to fix this issue?
    Thank you!​

    Right-click the wifi icon in the tray panel and click on Configure Network Connections...

    Select/highlight your Wi-Fi entry.

    In the General configuration tab, ensure that All users may connect to this network is checked.

      Code:
      In the General configuration tab, ensure that All users may connect to this network is checked.​
      It does not work! I had already tried this and played around with some other option e. g. setting higher priority, changing user in the "Advance" option, to no avail, before posting here.
      As i mentioned in my OP, its only an annoying task at every start-up, I can live with that.
      Thank you!

        Of course, knowing information about the device might help.
        It might be a known bug in its driver for some people.
        It most likely is not related to KDE/Plasma, or a setting that it can apply itself, unless it does not act the same in Ubuntu or other Flavour.

        Code:
        lspci -v | egrep -i 'wifi|wlan|wireless|wi-fi'
        or
        Code:
        lshw -C network
        Or poke around Kinfocenter and copy relevant text:
