Any name is fine for that file, it would be a new one (must finish in
.pkla, though), that adds configuration.

We're not going to change upstream behavior for this. On most
desktop/laptop installs, this makes sense because people are the only
users of their system, and as such have access to the "administrator"
password, which is their login password since the authentication is
similar to what sudo does. In other cases, it still makes sense because
the administrator creates network connections to be used and users
normally shouldn't have to change them or create new ones (the
enterprise scenario).

Title:
  Administrator password for WLAN-connections?

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 10.04 a normal user could connect to new WLANs. In 12.04
  (with Unity) a question for admin password comes up with this action.
  I think, connecting to new WLANs should stay a right of normal users.
  I cannot be with them everytime, or I cannot give them the admin
  password.
