Likewise, here with 9 and using Gnome.  I wonder a couple of things:
Whether the original poster has tried both right clicking and left
clicking on the network manager icon.  And whether they're trying to use
access points that aren't broadcasting their SSID (which is a complete
waste of time).

Here, if I left click on the icon, I see a list of available networks
(wired and wireless), and I can select one of them, there's also some
options about manual configuration.  If they need authentication for
use, then I'm prompted to enter the necessary information.

If I right click, there's enabling options, and manual editing options.
