    WICD Network Manager needs administrative priviledges

    I had to reinstall WICD to fix another problem, and now it always asks me for my admin password every time I start up. After I enter in the password, it doesn't work.

    I have tried removing WICD and reinstalling it but that didn't help.

    I tried searching for a cure to this problem but none of them seemed to have been SOLVED. One post said he solved it but he wasn't clear on HOW he solved it.

    Here is the log:
