I apologize upfront if I missed something but - I noticed since
applying the 4.2 updates from the test repository that knetworkmanager
no longer works for me to connect to wireless. Wired networks appear
to work fine. The only way I've seen to get around this is to install
NetworkManager-gnome. When this is installed knetworkmanager works
fine (but isn't really needed since NetworkManager-gnome is
installed.... duh...).
I did some searching and found:
http://www.osnews.com/story/20758/KDE_4_2_Progress_New_NetworkManager_Pla...
which looks like the old knetworkmanager is on the way out (or with
4.2 appears already gone... ;-) )
The new plasmoid isn't going to be distributed until 4.3 but
apparently is available to test with now.
What's the current direction on this? Use NetworkManager-gnome until
4.3, make the plasmoid available to use or fix the old
knetworkmanager?
This find makes me mad.
Where does KDE get off breaking stuff that works ? Fedora is supposed
to be production quality. KDE releases are supposed to be production
quality.
I think someone needs to put their foot down on some of this stuff.
