I can add a new connection manually with the wrong password and it fails. The icon in the system tray changes to grey with three white horizontally-arranged dots and then returns to the grey rectangle with a white x in the lower right hand corner. A notification displays that the connection is lost.

This is also the same experience I have if I first select the connection from the list of options before first manually adding it.

If I then manually edit to the right password, the process repeats but ends in the icon turning into the full white icon and a notification that the connection is established.

BTW you can see the logs of networking with `journalctl -u NetworkManager`. In fact, you may want to follow this the `journalctl -f -u NetworkManager`.
