Comment 39 for bug 330811

Still not working for me, even knetworkmanager doesn't connect to my hidden wireless. When I stop plasma-widget-network-manager and start knetworkmanager I can see my "Home" wlan connection. But when I click on the entry the following message appears:
Activate Connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/0 on Device /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx

After a few seconds I see this message in my syslog:
<WARN> wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/0 failed to activate (timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service

The only way I can use my wireless is to call "iwlist" with plasma-widget-network-manager running. This can't be the solution, my 8.10 kubuntu still works fine with the knetworkmanager.
I can't see anybody working on this problem so far, the priority is still low for this bug and I haven't seen any work on the KDE bug report for the plasma-widget-network-manage.
