Hi,
Did you do this while physically connected to a console, or via SSH?
Are special configurations done by your system administrator (assuming
this is in a corporate environment) to limit access to specific
administrative tasks on your computer?
The two possibilities that come to mind would be if this is attempted
via a SSH connection, in which case this is "expected" behavior (SSH
connections are not local, and thus not considered the same way when
checking for permissions) or a custom configuration for policykit that
restricts the "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi"
permission.
Regards,
/ Matt
