Bug Description
The task-bar applet showing network connection will not connect to the DSL modem wireless, as it used to do in prior releases.
I tried three different wireless dongles, all with the same result.
I'm running the live 17.04 system, and I tried it on three different machines as well.
Other than the machine I submitted the bug report on (which also has ethernet connectivity), all of my other machines depend on wireless, so 17.04 is not usable.
I tried both Lubuntu 17.04 and Xubuntu 17.04, and both live-systems have the same problem.
1) lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 17.04
Release: 17.04
2) lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo apt-cache policy network-
N: Unable to locate package network-
3) I expected the wireless to connect, as it has always done in prior releases.
4) It tried connecting for a period of time, then gave up.

I upgraded a 16.10 system with working wireless, to 17.04, and after reboot, the wireless no longer connects.
The wireless sees the wireless networks available, but it will not connect.
I have a long WPA2 passphrase (22 characters, with upper and lower case letters).
