network manager: wireless autoconnection not working


Hello!
Does anybody knows why in my Slackware64 14.2 network manager does not perform the autoconnection to my preferred wifi network at boot time or on resuming from suspension?
I also have set it manually:
Code:
$ nmcli -f NAME,AUTOCONNECT,AUTOCONNECT-PRIORITY c
NAME                AUTOCONNECT  AUTOCONNECT-PRIORITY
my_ssid             yes          1                   
Wired connection 1  yes          4294966297
Thanks in advance!

Is this newly set up? Did you enable all users?

As Gordie mentioned, you need to enable all users for this to work properly. It could've probably been labelled better, but it is what it is.

That was the point, thank you!
Well actually I tried to set permissions for all users from the beginning (yes, is newly setup), but this is what the KDE gui makes by cheking the box "All users may connect to this network":
Code:
# cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
# diff my_ssid~ myssid
5c5
< permissions=user:my_user:;
---
> permissions=
7d6
< autoconnect-priority=1
17a17
> auth-alg=shared
21a22
> wep-key-type=1
And after that the connection stop working at all! It get stuck in "Configuring interface" (why that??)
So the solution was to manually modify only the line 5 (see the diff).
