When selecting a previously unknown wireless network, I am not getting prompted for the password. NetworkManager just complains in /var/log/messages that "Access point {name} has security, but secrets are required", then gives up.<br>

I figured out that I can launch nm-connection-editor, and find my way to an obscure dialog where I can enter the wireless password, but this seems wrong. As I recall, selecting an previously unknown network from nm-applet, should result in me being automatically prompted for the password, directly. (...)<br>
