So I installed a new Novatel 3G card to use Virgin Mobile Broadband... the app installs and runs fine, detects the 3G USB,but when I click CONNECT to try to connect, I'm getting the following message:

"Type your password to allow Broadband2Go to make changes"

I type my password and it just goes back to the connect screen. To try and get more info, I click "Details" and I get the following message:

"Right: system.privlege.admin"
"Application: Broadband2Go"

I thought maybe it was a permissions issue, so I did a repair disk permissions, but that didn't fix the issue, so not sure what else to do. I know the card is functioning fine as I can use the OSX connection manager in network settings to connect manually, it's just the Virgin Mobile Broadband app which seems to be not agreeing with soemthing somewhere....

Anyone have similar issues or know what the problem is to be getting the error I'm getting? This is the first time I've installed it on my MAC so curious if anyone has had the issue, if it's with Virgin's software, or if it's something wrong with the permissions setting in my OS

Thanks!
