I am not 100% sure what you want here but any time you start GNOME's
nm-connection-editor it will prompt the user to configure anything,
including wireless credentials.

I think yes.

If this wireless connection is the only one configured and available
then you do not even need to direct NM to it; it should automatically
fallback to the only one available.
