It should be there:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/network-manager

Have you configured the "/etc/apt/sources.list" file to use the online
repos?

thanks for the reply.
after seeing your reply i configured the source list by adding the
following:


deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib
non-free

and then installed network-manager.

but, this implies, i cannot configure the source list or install new
necessary things to get up an internet connection *without* having an
internet connection already?...?

Well, "network-manager" is not required to configure and use the network,
the standard method (ifup) is still available.

Anyway, it seems "network-manager" package is included in CD#4:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/list-cd/debian-testing-i386-CD-4.list.gz

I even don't know how to setup a mobile broadband connection with
"network-manager", so I'm afraid I'm not the indicated person to ask for
this :-P

There are "ppp" packages available in the first CD, but I'm not sure
whether UMTS could be configured with just that :-?

Better open a new thread with a modified subject (to get the attention of
people in the know) and wait for any advice.

Greetings,
