I was logged on in a gnome-terminal and used "su -" to get root privileges
so I could watch the syslog. Now I tried with the original
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf file without having a root
terminal open and the connection gets established properly and stays that way.

What does this mean?
