Bug Description

I opened the network manager using Edit Connections from the pull down menu of the system tray network icon .
Creating a new wifi connection, I chose WPA&WPA Enterprise in the wifi-security tab.

Security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
Authentication: TLS
Identify: xxx
User certificate: none
CA certificate: xxx (I could chose from file manager)

When opening the browser for the private key and navigating to the right directory, it does not show any *perm, *.p12 or *.der files although they are present in this directory

Looks like this is a UI bug.

While setting up the wifi connection the first time, network manager crashed several times. Afterwards the p12 certificates could no longer be selected. I suspect a UI bug.

Rebooting my system resolved the issue.
