I'm using the apt source for Debian/Ubuntu:

deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~thom/network-manager/ ./

These are debs compiled from cvs though.

I indeed have that file in the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ directory and it
contains:

------------- begin NetworkManagerInfo.conf ----------------
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
 "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd";>
<busconfig>
        <policy user="root">
                <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>

                <allow
send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>
                <allow
send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>
        </policy>
        <policy at_console="true">
                <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>

                <allow
send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>
                <allow
send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>
        </policy>
        <policy context="default">
                <deny own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>

                <deny
send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>
                <deny
send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>
        </policy>
</busconfig>
------------- end NetworkManagerInfo.conf ----------------

Hopefully this helps.
