Network applet doesn't display WiFi options

[Ciprian Tomoiaga]

Hi,

I am trying to connect to a WPA2 wifi connection which requires a certificate and authentication (eduroam).
However, when I click on it in Network Manager the indicator starts spinning but I cannot access the network's options (such as security).
With other networks the button for Options (or preferences) appears only after connecting, but to eduroam I cannot connect without the right settings, therefore the button does not appear.

However, I managed to connect thorugh the "connect to hidden network" dialogue.

1) I am on Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela, Cinnamon edition.
2) I found someone else had this problem:

Thanks,

I've got the exact same problem. I think this is a regression introduced in the new network manager... I think I didn't have this problem in 17 and earlier, but in 17.2 and 17.3
