Yours does not look like mine.
That file belongs to NetworkManager-kde-0.7r848570-23.2.1, according to:

rpm -qf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf

And rpm -V of that package tells me that mine has not been modified, either.

If you want to restore the file to it's as-packaged state, use zypper:

zypper in -f NetworkManager-kde

If you back the file up first, put in some other directory.

The contents of the the KDE4 version (NetworkManager-kde4) and the
KDE3 version are slightly different, however.
I also had trouble with KDE4's network manager component, so even
though I am running KDE4.2.1 I'm using KDE 3.5's network manager
component. Perhaps you've found the cause of my troubles as well!
