Package: network-manager
Version: 1.6.2-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After fresh installation of Debian 9.1.0 (both Gnome and KDE, 
presumably others), it's impossible to connect to a Wifi network (WPA)
with the network manager, which I think it's a important bug given
its function. I found a work a round in a bug from several months ago,
which is why I opened a new bug report (I think that stable should be 
updated?). The workaround was changing NetworkManager.conf
as is sent below.

It's my first bug report so please forgive me I haven't done something
right. 

Also, I'm using aht9k_htc for TP-Link WN422G, not that I think it matters.
