In wheezy we added 11_network_user_connections.patch so unprivileged
users could create new network connections without having to provide
admin privileges.
This patch was dropped when 3.8 was merged from experimental.

We should restore this patch and forward port it to 3.16 and consider
fixing this for jessie as well.

Attached is the old patch for 3.4.
It doesn't apply anymore to 3.16 and needs to be forwarded ported and we
should reopen the discussion to get this merged upstream.
