Just to be clear -- before the upgrade I got a prompt for the root
password before it would allow me to add a new wifi service to ites list,
but it would connect to one already on its list automatically. Now it
simply won't connect at all, even to a wifi service that it already know,
and it doesn't even ask me for a root password.
I can't connect to wifi at all.
