Network Manager doesn't list wifi connections

You don’t mention which Desktop is being used – KDE Plasma 5 or GNOME?
[HR][/HR]Assuming KDE Plasma 5 (absolutely no idea about GNOME, I’m a KDE user . . . ):
The newest KDE Plasma 5 has a human eye visibility issue, which could affect other Desktops if they are also visually similar.

  • When you click on the Network Manage icon in the KDE Plasma 5 System Tray, check top left for an almost indiscernible box:
    [LIST]
  • If it’s not filled in with a colour, click it to fill it with colour and enable the WiFi.
  • If it’s filled in with a colour, a click will remove the coloured filling and switch the WiFi off . . .
