Or if you absolutely need it - for whatever reason - you can activate 
the root user with "sudo passwd root" and then set a password for the 
root user. Personally, I cannot live without this (but I do think the 
way the root account is handled by default (through sudo) in (k)ubuntu 
is the way to go).

Doing so in Control Center -> Wireless Network doesn't activate 
Administrator mode as it should. Can anybody confirm?
