** Description changed:
- Testing Lubuntu 20.04 daily image (2020-03-03).In Live desktop I clicked
- nm-tray, chose a wifi access point, typed the password incorrectly. Nm-
- tray silently failed. No msg that the connection failed. It also kept
- that access point as a "known connection". Clicking that produced no
- error msg.
+ Most NetworkManager front ends will not proceed if the password does not
+ meet the 8-63 character IEEE specification. nm-tray does and it silently
+ fails.
- I had to right-click nm-tray, edit network connections, and change the
- password there. Then when I clicked the access point in nm-tray's "known
- connections" I got a "connected" msg.
-
- That seems problematic that it failed without a msg. And, that it saved
- a failed connection.
