WLAN key is not saved

My wlan connection with WEP encryption works, but I have to type in the key everytime I connect. I'm following this:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net … ct_on_boot
The problem is, that when I try to set the key in network applet, I get a policykit ID error.
"Could not add connection
PolicyKit authorization could not be created; invalid action ID."
Although I did type that 'grant' policy kit as per the wiki page.

I found this file, which may be related:
'/usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.policy':

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC
 "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/PolicyKit/1.0/policyconfig.dtd">

<policyconfig>

  <vendor_url>http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager</vendor_url>
  <icon_name>nm-icon</icon_name>

  <action id="org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify">

    <defaults>

      <allow_active>auth_admin_keep_always</allow_active>
    </defaults>
  </action>

</policyconfig>

Re: WLAN key is not saved

Hi!

I've manage to solve problems with nm-applet and exception "PolicyKit authorization could not be created; invalid action ID."

- Install package consolekit

- Run console-kit-daemon at system startup (put in /etc/rc.local)

edit ~/.xinitrc and add  command ck-launch-session before yours window manager.

for example:

exec ck-launch-session startkde

Hope it will help :-)

Re: WLAN key is not saved

Hey, I also solved it, although this wasn't needed '- Run console-kit-daemon at system startup (put in /etc/rc.local)' for me.
