Thank you. I the GUI i checked that it is wpa2 but I’ll shut down Mint and try again - one moment.
Can you add as root:
update-bootloader --add-option rtw88_usb.switch_usb_mode=n
and
update-bootloader --config
The first will add a option to the /etc/default/grub, the second will write it to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
Now reboot your PC.
Does Wlan work now?
If not show also the new
journalctl -f
when putting in the Stick.
If not revert as root the changes:
update-bootloader --del-option rtw88_usb.switch_usb_mode=n
update-bootloader --config
It did not work.

Sorry, I have no more time today - maybe I’ll try again on sunday.
Thank you.
So the error is gone, it was a problem as written in the kernel-driver:
parm: switch_usb_mode:Set to N to disable switching to USB 3 mode to avoid potential interference in the 2.4 GHz band (default: Y) (bool)
So I would stay with this entry.
Have you deleted the Wlan confuguration in Networkmanager and tried with a new profile?
Show executed as User:
inxi -Na
ip a
and executed as root:
iw dev
Thank you!
It still didn’t work. No, it keeps asking about the password again (that didn’t happen for a while), even though I double checked that KWallet is turned off.
I deleted the connection several times, I even deleted it and did a reboot before adding a new. I double checked the password and that KWallet is turned every time, I did several reboots. Same procedure as yesterday and the day before… :-(.
Here are the results of inxi an ip a:

Please post it.
I wonder about the kill-switch.
Post executed as root:
rfkill list all
Ok, I see.

I am not the OP and I have no wifi stick at hand to do further investigations, but do you know
if the naming is correct?
@geoW
This would unblock your wlan:
As root:
rfkill unblock 2
Yes, to clarify again, I am not the guy with the problematic wifi device setup.
But taking your thoughts, let propose PhilippHr taking the nmcli work around, as here:
How to Connect to Wi-Fi Through the Linux Terminal With Nmcli
georg@heka:~> sudo nmcli --ask dev wifi connect Roundabout
[sudo] password for root:
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'Roundabout'.
Password (802-11-wireless-security.psk): ***************************
Device 'wlp3s0' successfully activated with '290*******************************'.

The original question has been: No Wifi on OpenSuse Leap 16 KDE / Password not safed
Than you for your replies. I had not time to try again until now.
Kill-switch: No, that seems not to be the problem:

Nmcli had the same result. But this might be interesting:
Philipp@localhost:~> nmcli dev status
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
lo loopback verbunden (extern) lo
wlp3s0f0u4 wifi nicht verbunden --
Device lo connected?
Sorry for all the mess.
Yes, loopback device is connected, it is right.
Search for your wifi:
(here ssid is Roundabout)
georg@heka:~> nmcli d status
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
enp12s0 ethernet connected enp12s0
wlp3s0 wifi connected Roundabout
lo loopback connected (externally) lo
georg@heka:~>
Try to connect:
nmcli --ask dev wifi connect Roundabout
Fill in your credentials, they will be saved.
That gives back:
Error: Connection activation failed: Wifi could not be found.
While trying to connect in the GUI I got an Error with something lik
“Did not reveice a reply. Possible causes include: (…) the message bus policy blocked the reply (…)”
I’m a bit fed up. Does anybody know, if another adapter might work better, e. g. this one: TP Link Archer T4U AC1300 ?
Thank you!
What gives back what?
Get used to:

command input

Please!
Sorry, I meant to reply to the previous post:
`nmcli --ask dev wifi connect Roundabout`
→
Error: Connection activation failed: Wifi could not be found.
After typing in the WiFi PW.
Sorry, if you would have read my message more carefully, you could have known that “Roundabout” is the ssid of my personal wifi network.
Again, find your wifi network:
No sorry, of course I typed in my Wifi network. I just copy and paste your original message.
An yes, it asked me about the PW, after typing it in I got the error message.
