Hi everyone. I’ve been using Manjaro for the past month, and the experience is amazing. One thing that bothers me is it keeps asking me the Wi-Fi password of the alredy known SSID every boot. It’s not really an issue is the password is super memorable and easy to type, but some Wi-Fi password isn’t. Is it related to kernel issue? Recently, I upgraded the kernel to 510 because the included 59 is not supported anymore.
Here is my inxi --full --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host

A6:D9:90:D2:0C:4D is the BSSID of my Wi-Fi. Any help would be so much appreciated!
