Hi,
New user of Qubes. I have a Lenovo W520 specifically for Qubes - got
it installed and running.
The weird thing is I can't find a place to connect to WiFi? It
doesn't prompt me anywhere for a connection. The Network Manager is
empty, and if I click add everything is grayed out. The sys-net VM
shows that I have Ethernet and WiFi devices available, but am totally
clueless how to actually get anything connected.
I've searched thoroughly and found little on this issue, making me
wonder if this is something specific to me, or if I'm just
overlooking something obvious.
Thank you very much for any help, P.
This sounds like the problem David Craig recently posted about:

Assuming your wifi is Intel, is the iwlwifi module loading?

Thanks. I tried plugging in an ethernet cord and that popped up that there was
a connection. I tested that by running an update through terminal in one of the
VMs and it worked (i.e. it downloaded the files).
So it is working for ethernet!
Sorry if this is noob question, but how does someone normally connect to WiFi
using Qubes? Is there a GUI or do you use a terminal? I haven't been able to
find any info on this.
The Network Manager icon is supposed to appear in the "systray" area on
the task bar. It is like a little piece of sys-net and should have a red
border around it. That gives you control over networking.
However, if you installed the KDE desktop with Qubes, there is a bug
that causes some systray icons to appear blank... even though they are
present and usable if you click on the right (blank) spot near the other
icons. Actually you can hover the mouse pointer over the systray area
and it will show a label for each applet underneath.
