Thanks for you report, this is caused by my mistake in latest network
patch fix, sorry.
To solves it in /usr/share/cinnamon/applets/network@cinnamon.org/applet.js
change:
let perms = client.get_permission_result
(NM.Client.Permission.SETTINGS_MODIFY_SYSTEM);
with:
let perms = client.get_permission_result
(NM.ClientPermission.SETTINGS_MODIFY_SYSTEM);

Maxy told me that also solving it is still unable set wifi connection
with password, can you tell me if you have the same issue please?
I don't know if I'll have the time to try to test and solves it today, 
if not I'll do it tomorrow or in the weekend.
