ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Anthony King 2022-05-31 17:35:20 UTC
Repeatable in Manjaro, using `iwd` as the backend.

Connection is shown in `nmcli` correctly (and other NM GUIs):
```
# nmcli connection show --active [UUID]
...
802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt:      sae
```

Connection is shown in System Settings correctly as connected with WPA3.
Connection is shown in `iwctl` correctly as connected with WPA3.
```
# iwctl station wlan0 show
...
Security            WPA3-Personal
```

Connection is not listed in the Applet, instead listing a new network with `wpa2-psk` that you can configure (shown as `<network name> (<interface>)`, ie `Royalty6G (wlan0)`.


Tested with a WPA3-only network, and WPA2/WPA3 Transition networks. Both exhibit the behaviour above.
