I made an update today with the main server and I have the following issues:
1) I cant mount removable devices as a user
2) Cant connect to any network and network settings were lost (Networkmanager)
I am using KDE 4.6.2

That does not explain anything. I can not connect either with wicd or networkmanager now, reverting networkmanager package(s) does nothing.
Networkmanager states "Invalid state". It just does nothing when I click on a connection, or asks for the password and just does nothing.
Wicd cannot connect, it says the password is wrong. I dunno, how can they get out such untested packages? Many have this problem or problems connected with polkit/networkmanager/kdeplasma-applets-networkmanager.
[This is probably a polkit bug looking at the fact that wicd does not work too.]

I tried to downgrade polkit with no positive results and reinstalled wicd to make it worked, plus purging the settings out of it. I even had to mount my external USB hard drive with fstab to work-around. I think this bug is much related to the last updates.

Latest updates of what?
I reinstalled wicd with no result. I reinstalled kdeplasma-applets-networkmanager, it did not change anything. I reverted it, it did not change anything. I did the same with networkmanager with the same poor results. I don't know what to do!

I'd suggest you check if either polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 or polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 is running.
In Gnome 2 even though there's an autostart entry I have another one with a delay of 10 secs before starting to make sure it is running.

How do I run these agents? Can you provide me an example of an autostart file? (I know where to place it)
Thanks for the input Aphanic.
Offline
Sure, those are provided by polkit-gnome or polkit-kde and the agents reside in /usr/lib/polkit-gnome or /usr/lib/kde4/libexec respectively.
Autostart files are also provided by these packages, in /etc/xdg/autostart the Gnome one and in /usr/share/autostart the KDE one, but you may put yours in your home directory I think (in Gnome the dir would be ~/.config/autostart).
I have 2 files for the delayed execution, polkit (executable one) and polkit.desktop (the autostart file); here are the contents:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=polkit
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Delayed PolicyKit Authentication Agent
Comment=Delayed execution of the authentication agent ensuring it starts.
It can also be launched manually or maybe you can edit the current autostart file to look exec "sleep 10 && polkit-XXX-authentication-agent-1", but I have not tried that.
Hope that helps.

I'm sorry, I don't know then, both polkit and polkit-gnome were updated at the same time with version 0.101 but polkit-kde is 0.99 (no newer version upstream).
Is there any KDE user experiencing the same as you after the polkit 0.101 update?
Offline
polkit-kde is 0.99 (no newer version upstream)
It could be this generating the problem.

I would probably wait for an update to come.
