It should time out after a minute or so, but I think more work is needed in that area.

FWIW. I looked at how to solve this issue. I just want to share an idea on how to correct this issue. This is the proposed networkmgr file.

!/usr/bin/env python

import signal from NetworkMgr.trayicon import trayIcon import subprocess from tkinter import messagebox

def connect_to_wifi(ssid, password): command = f"wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c <(wpa_passphrase {ssid} {password} )"

try:
    result = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, check=True, stderr=subproce

ss.PIPE) if result.returncode != 0: raise subprocess.CalledProcessError(result.returncode, command)

    # Additional code to handle successful connection

except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
    # Notify user if the password is incorrect
    messagebox.showerror("Connection Error", "The WiFi password is incorrect

. Please try again.")

class NetworkMgrTrayIcon(trayIcon): def connect_to_network(self, ssid, password): connect_to_wifi(ssid, password)

signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_DFL)

NetworkMgrTrayIcon().tray()
