This prevents the user from adding a wireless connection through the GUI.
WORKAROUND: nmcli -ask con up MYSSID
example:
# check device is active
nmcli dev
# look for connections
nmcli con
# enter PSK where MYSSID is the connection name from above
nmcli -ask con up MYSSID
# Now recheck wireless
nmcli con
nmcli dev
# check IP address is configured
ip addr
# test connection
ping 8.8.8.8
