The error message "not authorized to control networking" is probably a
duplicate of bug #1048522 which has been fixed in quantal. Please, try
to reproduce with the latest updates and report back if the problem
persists.
The network "Beer" probably has a system wide configuration which has
been created earlier maybe even just by clicking the network under the
normal session. You can get rid of your machine trying to autoconnect to
it by removing the configuration:
1) log in to your normal session
2) click networking menu
3) -> Edit Connections...
4) -> Wireless
5) Select the network "Beer" and click "Delete.."

Title:
wifi login broken in Quantal
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When lightdm starts up, it prompts me to enter the password for the
WiFi network "BEER", but this is not my network, and I don't have
credentials for it.
When I attempt to select a correct network, "bentley5", I get the
error message "(32) Not authorized to control networking".
Of course, when I start a Unity session, it automatically logs me into
"bentley5" (as it did under precise).
