I can by now confirm that my issues are systemd-related: When booting my machine with systemd, everything behaves as expected. However, interesting enough, just *installing* systemd (without using it) already improves the situation a lot: "nmcli c" works as expected, and the KDE plasma-nm applet shows the available and stored connections. However, for some reason, automatically connecting to a network does not work in this mode. After startup, I have to click "Connect" in the applet to initiate a wireless connection. And after resume, I have to click "Disconnect" and then "Connect" again for NM to re-establish my wireless connection. So it may well be that with some small fixes (though I have no clue what's causing this), a "Depends: systemd" suffices. Kind regards Ralf
