Attempting to use nm-applet to configure EAP-TLS results in the error "Connection add failed", "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)".

Running nm-applet on a terminal seems to indicate that the NetworkManager processing is having some kind of issue processing the new configuration. nm-applet output is as follows :

** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
** (nm-applet:11075): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0
** Message: NM disappeared
