Using VNC, although I could see nearby SSIDs, I couldn't connect to any ("Not authorized to control networking").
To solve this, I had to edit /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-network-manager.pkla and replace:
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan
with:
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.*
This yields the following complete file:
[Allow wi-fi scans for all users]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes
