wpa_gui failed to save configuration

I'm using wpa_gui to manage my wireless networks. Using this, I can scan and connect to my preferred wireless network, but when I have the configuration the way I want it, it won't let me save it! I get the message: "Failed to save configuration -- The configuration could not be saved. The update_config=1 configuration option must be used for configuration saving to be permitted." I have done so in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, and tried running wpa_gui under gksudo, and still I have no results. What am I missing here?

Re: wpa_gui failed to save configuration

Do you have ctrl_interface option in your wpa_supplicant conf?

ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
