Public bug reported:

Upstream patch: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/MitchellAugustin/gnome-shell/-/commit/ae85e11ca198ade20b84cbd1f2660d1fc6203095
(currently being upstreamed, WIP)

SRU Justification:

[ Impact ]

network.js passes an incorrect variable type when attempting
to connect to an enterprise AP from the quicksettings panel.

This patch corrects this behavior, allowing the panel to be
loaded.

[ Test Plan ]

1. Set up a WPA or WPA2 access point. (You do not actually need a RADIUS server 
to reproduce the issue, since it occurs simply when trying to load the 
credential popup.)
2. On your test device, click the quick-settings menu, then expand the Wi-Fi AP 
list. Select your enterprise AP

[ Fix ]

Adjust the variable type in network.js to match what the gnome-settings
panel and gnome-shell actually expect

[ Where problems could occur ]

There should be no regressions here, since prior to this patch,
launchSettingsPanel() was passing an invalid variable type that was
failing a broad gnome-shell assertion, halting the desired command from
running.

Other callers of launchSettingsPanel() may be impacted by this change
(but I would actually suspect that they'd suffer from the same issue, so
my patch may fix those cases as well if so)
