Bug Description

after updates today in 14.04

I reboot the system.

Then I tried connected to local wifi network It gave an error saying you are not authorised to use the applet. edit connection is not enabled. all dial up / mobile network configured previously are not shown.

network tab in system setting is also not allowing to connect to any network.

mobile network creation also failed saying user not allowed to access this applet.

tried to run nm-applet as super user but it did not work.
