[PLUG] wireless problem after software update

[Tomas Kuchta]

I think that your key store in desktop environment (GNOME?) maybe broken/
corrupt.

I assume you're using Network Manager to connect to WiFi. Correct?

If yes. Try removing/forgetting your WiFi in Network Manager, then trying
to connect again - should ask and store your WiFi password anew.
