Thanks for the link :) I guess the only difference here is that Lubuntu has its rules.d directory in /usr/share/polkit-1 instead of /etc/polkit-1 . As all linux distros use policykit nowadays there shouldn't be any difference on that low level. > >> >> I am not sure about autologin though.

This comment sums it up I guess: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/964705/comments/4 "System-wide" connections need authentication. Perhaps if you connect to the network manually by disabling system-wide connection (it should be a checkbox) solves this problem for you.
