  Title: finer grained PolicyKit support for Networkmanager
   
  openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation
  Priority
      Requester: Important
      Projectmanager: Desirable
   
  Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel)
   
Description:
  NetworkManager currently only supports one PolicyKit privilege. That is
  whether a user is allowed to modify administrator defined connections
  or not. There is no way to disallow users to define their own network
  configurations. NetworkManager should at least support one additional
  PolicyKit privilege that defines whether or not users are allowed to
  bring their own network configuration or whether they mere are allowed
  to use administrator defined ones.
   
  Use Case:
  - disallow workers on centrally administered machines to configure
  different network settings
  - protect home users that only ever connect to a few well known nets
  from accidently changing their setup

+ If this can be done with little effort I would be even tempted to rate
+ it Mandatory.
