how to set psk-flags=0 disabling encrypted psk storage as default for gnome-network-manager

[Jelle de Jong <jelledejong powercraft nl>]

Hi everybody,

I want to find a way to keep WiFi networks connected before user logins 
or logoff.

The problem seems to be that network-manager tries to auto connect but 
does not have access to the encrypted key. I am going through the docs 
and there is an psk-flags=0 that should tell to not use encrypted storage.

How do I set psk-flags=0 as default for gnome-network-manager, i cant 
seem to find the right dbus or polkit policy.

tried the bellow in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf but did not 
work.

[802-11-wireless-security]
psk-flags=0

[wifi-security]
psk-flags=0

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
