Bug Description
Same bug as described for Ubuntu 15.04 (see https:/
After switching on my notebook, booting into Ubuntu 16.04.1, and being at the login screen, before having logged into any user, the SIM-PIN menu appears. I key in the SIM-PIN, hit the <Unlock> button, then I am asked again for the SIM-PIN, this time with the error message "PolicyKit authorization failed: challenge needed for org.freedesktop
Hit the <Cancel> button
After that, I am able to log in and connect with my Aldi/Medion Huawei E173 USB stick to the network, if I am an AdminUser. For a user without Admin-rights it is a little bit more complicated after having logged in: he has to unlock the SIM pin again, then he is asked for the Admin passwort because necessary administrative rights. He has to hit <Cancel> twice, but then he can connect to the network without any knowledge of the Admin-paswort. Strange!
Will Ubuntu 16.04 sometime come to the point of enabling mobile networking as simple as it was with Ubuntu 14.04?
Thank you,

Sorry, big mistake in my title: though the following text clearyl says "Ubuntu 16.04.1", also the title should read
>>> Ubuntu 16.04.1 System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users <<<
Unfirtunately, I do not know how to re-edit my title! Canthis be done?
