After some debugging i found a working solution. Allocated file in /etc/
polkit-1/rules.d/99-networkmanager.rules containing:

--------------- cut ------------------
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
 if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control") {
   if (subject.isInGroup("netdev")) {
    return polkit.Result.YES;
  }
 }
});
--------------- cut ------------------

Hope that helps others.

kind regards
