Hello,
I am trying to connect to the internet using NetworkManager, but when I run:

nmcli d wifi connect 48:5D:36:81:F0:9E password --password

I get the error message

Secrets were required, but not provided.

Does anyone know of a fix for this? I also use an ethernet cable when I'm not away, could that be interfering?
I'm using runit.

Yes, it does not read the wifi password.

Does nm-applet run in the background?
