Comment(by mtd):

 It seems sugar's hardwaremanager.py can't get nmclient.py to get a dbus
 connection/proxy object to NetworkManager. As you / m_stone suggested, it
 seems consolekit / pam don't do what dbus's "at_console" policy rule
 expects (my terminology here is weak, sorry).  See
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14053 for an example of the
 fix.

 I did this as root and it fixed the problem:

 {{{
 cd /etc/ConsoleKit/run-session.d
 wget --no-check-certificate -O pam-foreground-compat.ck
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=17717
 init 6
 }}}
