Package: plasma-nm
Version: 0.9.3.3-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am not sure if it is the plasma-nm transition from plasma-networkmanagement, but plasma-nm is no longer autoconnecting to wifi connections. 
All of my previous wifi connections do not connect when I am in range, unless I manually tell plasma-nm applet to connect. 
Manually doing this works fine but clearly is not the desired behavior.

I have tried removing the "saved" connection and recreating it and rebooting but that does not help. 
Note, when creating the connection without choosing it from the drop-down list in SSID field, the connection still prompts for pw when trying to connect using the applet. 
So I deleted this connection as well and rebooted, and tried to readd it again this time from the drop-down list in SSID field and rebooted again.
Creating the connection this way allows it to connect manually without being prompted for pw, but is still manual and does not autoconnect on boot/login.
I have tried removing/reinserting kernel (iwlwifi) module with no success it still does not autconnect.
