[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#497643: nm-applet not displayed after GNOME installation from scratch

[Ralph Plawetzki]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: important

Dear package maintainer,

I recently made a lenny installation from scratch using the
cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot i386 CD
Binary-1 20080825-11:06].
I installed GNOME via 'aptitude install gnome'. Everything was fine
exept that the nm-applet was not displayed. Google said, that the user
has to be in group netdev. After I added my user to netdev, nm-applet
showed up and worked fine.

To me it seems, that the postinst-script of network-manager 0.6.6-2
lacks a function for adding users to netdev.

Please take a look at that.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Ralph
