    Hi There,

    I have a problem connecting to the network through Wifi:
    - Ubuntu can see my Wifi
    - I can enter the password for my Wifi network
    - But now I get an eror message: "System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users"
    - I checked the policy file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy; It already mentioned: <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
    - I have this problem for ALL users, including 'ubuntu' (which is an administrator account).

    Not sure what to do next. Network by cable woks fine, by the way.

    It's a Udoo Quad, Rev.D with Ubuntu 12.04

    All suggestions are welcome!

    The problem was that I had to enter the administrator password first, before entering the wifi-key and building up the connection.

    Wifi works fine now.
