whoah! network manager won't let me use new wireless card

[Matt Price]

Hi everyone,

I have just installed a new wireless card in my Thinkp[ad T410 and it
seems to work pretty well (yay). However, my Ubuntu Quantal system is
having some trouble with it.  As root I can access the card, add new
connections, and so forth.  But as a normal user I can't use the
wireless at all.  All of my old connections are still visible, but
I've lost my permission to edit them.  This is in my main account,
where I have full admin privileges.

What I'm guessing is that network-manager doesn't quite understand the
new card somehow, and isn't giving up permissions to the user.  I've
tried various googlable solutions, mostly involving changing the
poermissions in polkit, but they don't seem to have worked so far.
Anyone know what I ought to do? I feel like network-manger needs to
somehow reregister this card, but I don't know how to make that
happen.

If anyone has suggestions... I'd appreciatethem!

Thanks

Matt
