If your network adapter's active configuration profile is not compatible with the connection partner's settings, for example encryption has not been set correctly, you will first see the Configuration – Security tab:

ìChange the settings required for the connection.

OR

ìSelect a saved profile.

The connection will then be set up automatically.
