I went ahead and committed a modified version to SVN in revision 1254475.

That being said, I do not believe this patch is complete.  Yes, it
compiles, but there is code that directly references
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings".  According to the NM 0.9
porting guide att
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/api/09/ref-migrating.html,
the NetworkManagerUserSettings service has been completely removed from NM
0.9.

Can you please figure out a way to get around this?  I expect that a new
interface needs to be written to their new "secret agent" D-Bus API.

Also, if you do, please send in the patch against our current SVN tree.  I
have included the partially functional patch in SVN as a convenience to
you as you repair knetworkmanager.

Thanks!
