Bug#742891: NetworkManager integration broken (user connections / unmanaged devices)

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-5+b1
Severity: normal
If NetworkManager detects an unmanaged devices (i.e. one managed by
ifupdown), it monitors /run/network/ifstate and set's the state to
connected (global) if such a interface has been ifup'ed.
gnome-shell in wheezy had a patch, which instead of a disconnected icon,
should a connected icon. The patch was called 40-force-online.patch
It seems this patch was dropped in 3.8. It would be nice to re-integrate
the patch.
Even more important is getting the user connections support
forward-ported. This patch (for wheezy) ensured that unprivileged users
didn't have to enter a root password whenever you connected to a
wireless network. This patch, 28_network_user_connections.patch, was
dropped as well in 3.8
I'm certain that 40-force-online.patch is still necessary. I'm not
entirely sure about 28_network_user_connections.patch. Unless upstream
has fixed this in some other way, it needs to be forward ported as well.
