Trouble Connecting to Wi-Fi Via GUI

Note: I originally posted this question on unix.stackexchange.com. But as my question was down-voted within an hour of asking, I came to the conclusion that perhaps I need to quit attempting to get help on StackExchange or that my inquiry is simply moronic. If anyone feels that my question is not reasonable, please give me some feedback so I understand why.

Original question:

I am having a small issue with my Wi-Fi adapter. It seems that the GUI interface is struggling to connect, so it does not automatically connect when I start the system. In order to connect, I have to open a command-line shell & execute the following command:

Code:
$ sudo iw dev <device_name> connect <SSID>

So the credentials have been stored correctly. It just seems the GUI network manager is having some issues.

I am running a 2007 MacBook Pro with Ubuntu MATE 19.04 x86_64. This is a fresh install.

Code:
$ lspci
...
0b:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5418 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5008E 802.11(a)bgn] (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
