I have this bug aswell, how can a non admin priviliged user set up a
connection for only themselves?

When I use an unprivledged account and click on a wireless network I'm
asked for an administrative password, clicking cancel gives the error
message about insufficient privliges, there is _no_ option to instead
connect the network for the current user only.

Please explain to me what the opinion part of this is? There is no way
for a regular user to connect to a new wireless network by clicking the
network name, if you know all the id's and security settings it is
possible to manually set it up and explicitely unchecking the "available
for all users"-box, but this is not a how a normal user would connect to
a network.

The current implementation is broken for regular users and makes it
impossible for non-technically savy persons to use an ubuntu laptop with
a new wireless connection.
