Repeated authorizations attempts and Zenity authorization requests

Steps to reproduce

Install Linux kernel 3.2.0-23 to current 3.2.0-47

Work around purge bcmwl-kernel-source, broadcom-sta-common, broadcom-sta-source and reboot to enable to brcmsmac driver

Possible alternate work around blacklist wl, and remove the brcmsmac blacklist from bcmwl-kernel-source.
