I began to wonder if all the tweaking I had tried to do had upset the applecart, so I went back this morning and did a complete reinstall from scratch, formatting / and home partitions. I did an online update with Yast.
Then I went back and redid the requests, as below.

When I try to access network manager by right clicking the wifi emblem I get a screen that says network manager but does not look like anything I remember from Network Manager in 13.1
If I could figure out how to attach the screen shot I did of it to this post I would, otherwise is there an email I can attach the jpg to?
There are no wifi names, I don’t see how to add a password, just four arrows and two lists of options??
