network-admin shouldn't be run as root. The normal way is that you have
a button allowing you to authenticate as admin. In your case. I suspect
the PolicyKit authentication agent isn't running, which is why the
button text is disabled.
Run gnome-session-properties and make sure the "Authentication agent"
item is checked, then log out, it should work.
