Comment 26 for bug 280762

Building upon davidmb's comments:

How many reports do users have to file before people upstream acknowledge that there are serious problems with knetworkmanager? Not only are there many bug reports for knetworkmanager on Launchpad, there are also lots of bug reports over at KDE's Bugzilla that have yet be resolved. In fact those reports have been left open and untouched.

After deliberating for over a week, I finally uninstalled knetworkmanager and installed network-manager-gnome (nm-applet) instead. And it works just fine. Count me among those who would encourage Kubuntu users to ditch knetworkmanager in favor of the -gnome version.

Meanwhile, OpenSuse beta 5 has been released. Among the release notes, there is mention of a network manager plasmoid for KDE 4. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2008-11/msg00007.html
