Bug Description
Binary package hint: knetworkconf
Package: knetworkconf
Version: 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu2
Serious problem with taskbar network management applet in KDE 4.1 in Kubuntu 8.10. In Kubuntu 8.04 running KDE 3.6, when system is resumed or restarted and the user's session is restored, the network management applet will automatically resume the previously active (default) wireless connection.
Now, under KDE 4.1, when the system is restored, the network manager applet comes up but does not re-establish the connection. The user is forced to manually select the connection and re-establish it.
Another bug related to this is that, when the user's session is resumed, whatever web browsers or other Internet-related sessions that were active will resume, even though the network has not resumed. This is kind of braindead behaviour, because the user will be confronted with a resuming web browser which will not be able to actually resume its previous session. This is the default behavior.
