Make a backup copy of the org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy file:

# cp -p org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy.orig

Edit the org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy file:

# vi org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy

In the <action id=”org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system”> section, look for
<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active> toward the end of the section.

Change that line to:
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
