KDE with Network-Manager-Applet doesn't connect to WPA-PSK Network

I switched from Gnome to KDE, I deleted all Network-Manager "known-networks", so network-manager should be on a clean state.

wpa_supplicant ist installed, NetworkManager.service and ModemManager.service are started.

When I try to connect to an unencrypted wifi or plugin an ethernet-cable everything work fine.

When I try to connect to my WPA2-encrypted wifi, it ask for my (63 char) password and when I click on connect it fail directly without any log message in journalctl:

"properties/attributes are not valid"

Whats wrong here?

Install wpa_supplicant and if the problem still exist try connecting through command line.

 wpa_passphrase ssid your_password | wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/dev/stdin 

replace ssid with your ssid. Replace wlan0 with your interface found with "ip link" command
in a new terminal type this command

dhcpcd wlan0

wpa_supplicant was installed, I changed the password to something which is shorter.

Now I get this error:

Else the network-information is completely wrong (except the mac-address). My iOS device is running fine on the same hotspot.

Is there any network-widget which is not only a bunch of bugs? Thanks for any hint.

Best Regards

Ruben
