You need a active ConsoleKit session, ie. please make sure you have
consolekit and policykit installed (the latter is a recommends of
network-manager).
Then use a login manager, like gdm3, kdm or lightdm, which set's up a
ConsoleKit session properly.

A active ConsoleKit session is required by NetworkManager to determine
if you are allowed to control the network settings or not.
