So I just dealt with this for a 2nd time ( E profile got corrupted
after a hard lockup ). I thought I document what was needed for me, at
least for myself the next time it happens, if not for others who have
the same issue ...

I need to run:

 polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
 nm-applet

 ... on startup. nm-applet triggers a dialog asking for my password
for gnome keyring, and after it's entered, I can successfully connect
to saved networks.
