Hello,

I opened the nm-connection-editor, checked to make sure that I have the
correct network and the correct passphrase.  I tried connecting, but all
that happens is that I get the "Thinking..." icon and then back to a
computer with a little X next to it (meaning no connection.)

Also, I've stopped netctl (stil does not work.)  I do have a question, what
is system-netctl.slice?
