I can't find any option in the nm-applet to "forget" a network
connection. 

But the word "forget" reminded me that "forget" is the term I see in
the wifi options on my Note3. So I looked in the wifi networks visible
to the phone and the Flashair did not appear at first, but it did
appear after I removed the card from the laptop and reinserted it. And
indeed, it took the password and I connected to it. The phone said its
IP address is 192.168.0.11.

But when I connect to it with the laptop it says it is connected, but
the icon keeps spinning around waiting for me to give it the password,
which I cannot do because the GUI gives me no place to enter it. After
a while it times out.

I might add that the neighbors whose networks are secured operate the
same way in the GUI. I have never even attempted to connect to them,
but just now I tried one and got the same results - spinning icon until
it times out, and never a popup asking for a password.

Is there a way to connect to a network and give it a password from the
command line?
