Today I managed to solve this problem: I had once deactivated the KDE
Wallet subsystem. I enabled it again, restarted the system, and the
network manager started connecting automatically again.

However, I want the computer to connect without asking anything (I'm not
always near it). But now it asks for my wallet password...

I solved it by entering a blank password, but that's a workaround. I've
always disabled the kde wallet subsystem without a problem.


Problem solved, I want to share some thought about this issue.:

I can't help but saying that I seriously can't believe that this bug is
still present, with medium priority and assigned to nobody. If this bug
was present in windows (and for a year!), everyone of us would be making
jokes about it. A whole release came and gone without anybody interested
in solving this. It's really unbelievable.

Please don't tell me to upgrade because I use the computer for GPGPU and
Plasma 5 breaks when installing nvidia proprietary drivers (so 15.04
isn't an option for me) and 14.04 *LTS* has another open bug that
prevents it for being used for GPGPU with nvidia cards. So, I'm just
thinking about changing OS.

Not caring about bugs is a serious issue these last years in *Ubuntu.
