google is such a bud! I was unsure of how to use network manager (didn't
even know if it was installed) so I finally googled it. Well.... it is
installed but I still get an error. it is complaining about 'secrets'. So I
googled the error and that ultimately lead me to:
https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,2334.0.html
instructing me to delete the ssdi. but I still get the same error message:
[bmike1@HavensARCH ~]$ nmcli device wifi connect NETGEAR48 password

Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but
not provided.
[bmike1@HavensARCH ~]$ nmcli connection delete NETGEAR48
Connection 'NETGEAR48' (18078f46-de97-41d5-84dc-0c0effce12e8)
successfully deleted.
[bmike1@HavensARCH ~]$ nmcli device wifi connect NETGEAR48 password

not provided.
