Sounds like a good idea to me to have these informations back again. What was the reason to skip them? (In reply to comment #1 from Martin Schmidkunz) > Sounds like a good idea to me to have these informations back again. > What was the reason to skip them? The switch from NM 0.6 to 0.7 changed the whole API and thus KNetworkManager needed a lot of work. Unfortunately some minor features were not ported due to lack of time yet. We should consider that for K4NM. But for K3NM that will not be fixed anymore. *** Bug 425434 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 418532 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 402592 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This has been fixed in the latest versions of KNetworkManager4. See Factory for the package. but the bug talks about KDE3. There is no kde4-knetworkmanager for 11.0...and I'm unable to create the RPM through the Factory SRPM and the build service. Can you help? KDE3 Network Manager Applet is still installed as part of default group selection/default install. If you check you 11.0 and 11.1 install you should find the knetworkmanager/KDE3 Applet is already installed. Q - It appears as though the functions in the applet work correctly, but I have not tested. As KnetworkManager Applet KDE3 is installed in both 11.0 and 11.1 I think we can rationally devote time to correcting the removal of information in opening comment which was the case in past. This Applet is perfect for a right and left click, where 1 Provides meaningful info without going to a command line and running netstat and the other click continues with current functions. Without going to netstat it is NOT possible to determine initial comments details Only sticking Point is if the KDE3 Applet which is installed and present in 11.0-11.1 cannot currently offer the functions that are currently available???? I trust Knetworkmanager in KDE4 gets a whole lot better and just to load all it stages seems to increase exponentially when used to manage IP and it options require a user to join a mailing list for help. I also hope all VPN permutations will be included in KDE4 Knetworkmanager and not stand alone. *** Bug 478110 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** RE- Opened as this issue is not fixed in 11.1 - re-adjusting target to 11.2 and hopefully it will be fixed by then RE- Adjusting due to inherent problems this bug causes in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498307 and this bug is dependant on https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489542 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498307 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=425434 Created attachment 288227 [details]

There is yet another way of controlling the Network Connection via Kcontrol....Our problem now is which one do we focus on an fix to be able to use Network Manager and have it auto connect and has the ability to provide right click meaning data as in 10.2
Dupe *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 425434 *** This is not a dupe - It was not fixed in 10.3 and made worse in 11.0 and is now a disaster in 11.1 As already said, this has been handled for KDE4 and probably won't be done for KDE3, nothing more to do here. |
