Wireless - no notification of missing user priveleges

[HannesB]

Instead of an adequate message that the user has no privileges to connect to wireless network, the network adapter is not visible.

This happend to me as I forgot to allow the users to use it and thought that my wireless card was not recognizes at all. Took an hour till I found it.

In what scenario did this happen?

[HannesB (hannesb)]

The scenario was a clean install of ubuntu netbook remix 9.04. A wireless connection has never been set up before. Wireless hardware was not shown to the user. After granting the rights it could be used normally.

I cannot reproduce it because there seems to be a more critical bug: taking away the rights to connect to wireless networks does not have any affect: users can still connect to wireless networks.
(maybe this happens, after once one user (has/was allowed to) set up any connection ?)

Im sorry that I didnt try this the first time.
