Thanks for the hint.

I found the page
  https://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=12073

which posts 2 possibilities for a similar problem on ubuntu.

The unsafe way (set Allow_Any = yes) works, but the safer one (define file in
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d) not.

I created afiler named 02-networkmanager.conf containing:
--------------- cut ----------------
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
 if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control") &&
 subject.isInGroup("{netdev}")) {
 return polkit.Result.YES;
 }
 });
--------------- cut ----------------

I looks to me that either the directory is wrong and/or the file name is
wrong.

Any ideas ?
