My personal OS X laptop and my work Win7 laptop both have this feature.
I'm glad that NM now defaults to creating wifi connections for all
users when a wifi connection's created. I don't understand why Debian
can't simply use the same polkit solutions that Arch, Fedora, and
Ubuntu (and I'm sure other distributions) are using. One reason that's
been given (AFAIUI) is that it exposes the stored wifi passwords to
all users. I'm *infinitely* more willing to hand out my wifi password
to someone that let him/her use my laptop!
