[Solved] NetworkManager not asking for Wifi Passphrase

I have freshly installed archlinux with Gnome3 on my Dell Inspiron 1520. I am using b43 broadcom drivers since my wifi card's pcid is 14e4:4312.

When I installed NetworkManager(with gnome keyring) it sees all the available Wifi Connections, but whenever I click on a encrypted connection it first asks for Admin Authentication(On the very first try), then proceeds to disconnect and automatically connect to the first available non encrypted connection.

Is there something that I haven't installed and/or configured?

I have asked this on superuser(Link below) but to no avail

You're probably missing extra/network-manager-applet

I had almost the same problem, where it would ask me for admin rights to connect to a network; on the wiki I read about permission changes that were introduced some time ago, reading it might help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager

Ye network-manager-applet wasn't installed. Must have overlooked it when following the wiki. Cheers.

PS. If you want you can respond to my superuser question and I can mark it as answered.
