KDE 5 fails to connect to wifi at boot...

Every time I reboot, KDE's network manager attempts to connect to my wifi network, and hangs at "Waiting for authentication". I end up having to delete the connection and give it my password again. Is anyone else having this issue?
On my previous Arch install I was using Wicd instead of NetworkManager, and somehow it "just worked" with KDE.

Sorry if I seem noobish with my lack of 3 pages of relevant info, I'm by no means a guru.

Edit: it seems to be a problem with NetworkManager itself I'm having. It's apparently bringing my ethernet interface up, even though I'm not plugged in and I'm 20 feet from my router. Is there a way to just disable my ethernet hardware or set a preference for wifi?

Hi,
i solved it, instead of typing the password add a new connection, select the SSID... and it will keep it in memory.

To make it works, we have to check "Allow connection for every users" else it doesn't ask anything but seems to try to connect
