These logs indicate a problem with knetworkmanager where it is not
correctly setting up the connection profile after you hit connect.  I'd
suggest seeing if the knetworkmanager team has any ideas about this
failure.

Some information for them:  NM expects to be passed either (1) all the
secrets from the requested setting, or (2) an entire, valid Connection
dict, as the response to a GetSecrets call.  It looks like
knetworkmanager is trying to do #2 here, but the connection object
simply isn't validating and thus the connection fails.
