Thanks for that clue. I think my problem was that, although I was
following directions, I was doing it while KDE was running. Running
from a simple command line without KDE seems to have solved it.

  # nmcli c modify ${name} 802-11-wireless-security.psk "password" \
                           802-11-wireless-security.psk-flags 0

After booting and before starting KDE (which I do using startx because
I like seeing boot messages), the connection is up. And still up after
KDE is running. No wallet impact at all.
