Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.0-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Not sure whether this is a duplicate of bug #642136?
When connecting to a hidden wlan (nm-applet --> left click --> Connect to
Hidden Wi-fi Network)
NM asks for the root passwd on the pretext that a system setting will be
changed:
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system
This is not necessary, since connecting to such a network can be completed as a
normal user.
Indeed, selecting "Cancel" in the pop-up frame allows me to type in the (in my
case) WPA2
credentials and the connection gets established.
The connection was used before, and there is a corresponding file in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
In nm-applet it's selected to "Connect Automatically" and
"All users may connect ..."
Kind regards
Klaus

If you don't want the password prompt, then de-select the "All users may
connect" option.
