wireless connection problems -- NetwokManager won't accept a CA cert.

I'm having problems trying to set up  a wireless connection.  I'm using NetworkManager.   When I try to enter a CA certificate, either initially in Network Connections or later in Network Settings, it won't let me --  the Save or Apply button is greyed out.  I was able to enter the connection initially in Network Connections by checking "No CA certificate is required" under Wi-Fi Security.

This is a brand new Arch Linux installation on a brand new machine.  I can connect via a wired connection.

Any ideas what's happening here?  Is there some other setting I need to specify?  I couldn't find one.  A permissions issue?  Some other package(s) I need to install?

The connection uses WPA & WPA2 Enterprise, and I know all the other settings to use.  It's just the certificate I can't enter.

I also tried manually changing the config file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, to add the certificate setting, but that didn't work either -- it didn't recognize the changes.

Thanks.

Re: wireless connection problems -- NetwokManager won't accept a CA cert.

This post seems related: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=191875.  That is, the problems reported there seem to be related, and I can get the connection to work by using /etc/ssl/cert.pem.  But it's not really a fix.
