I think you may need to reboot (or at least restart NM and dbus-daemon)
before the new NetworkManager plugin works.

you connect.

Yeah, NetworkManager says that for just about every error, instead of
something sensible :)

If this persists after a reboot, networkmanager-list at gnome.org is
probably the best place to continue.
