Hi, I'm using Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty and although plasma-widget-network-manager (version 0.0+svn966653-0ubuntu0.1) connects to the wireless network and I have full access, the icon never changes to the "connected" icon. Attached is a screen capture of the icon and the result of "tail -n0 -f /var/log/syslog > /tmp/syslog" is below.
** EDIT: this is kde 4.3 (KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3)) from the PPA backports. ***
