The fantastic new completely refactored NM 0.9 now needs root privs to create 
or edit connections...

But why use NetworkManager on a workstation to begin with? Using NM only makes 
sense when you have to connect to different networks _often_. You should use 
ifup on a workstation and save yourself the agony.

And see /var/log/NetworkManager for more detailed information on what goes 
wrong. If plasmoid-networkmanagement is failing, try the gnome applet to see 
if the problem is with the applet or the backend.
