Thank you very very much!!!! It does work! :)
As per Polkit, I don't apreciate it very much either, even tough I guess it's,
effectively, because of your same reason.
Thank you very very much, really.

Don't know if this is sufficient, but I have this file which I believe
allows any member of the 'netdev' group to manage NM and MM:
root@miraculix:/tmp# cat
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/42-miraculix.pkla
# $Id: 42-miraculix.pkla,v 1.5 2018/03/22 19:54:49 bjorn Exp $

# Configuration file for the PolicyKit Local Authority.

# See the pklocalauthority(8) man page for more information
# about configuring the Local Authority.

[Network Manager]
Identity=unix-group:netdev
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes
[Modem Manager]
Identity=unix-group:netdev
Action=org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes
Using 'Identity=unix-user:*' instead should allow any user. In theory.
But who knows. To be honest, I hate the polkit complexity. Probably
because I have never cared enough to spend the necessary time reading
all the docs and default policy files etc. But I wonder: Who does that?
