Description Forgotten User 2AXImBTIXA 2013-11-30 17:07:02 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.57 Safari/537.36

Whenever I install SUSE Linux, at first I do not have network connectivity (DHCP IP address has not been obtained). Then when I click on "Network Management" I get an error message asking me to start Network Manager. Can't the system do this itself? Starting the Network Manager requires me to know how to open a console, requires me to know how Network Manager is called, takes time and much more. My request here is that the system starts what is needed to provide me network connectivity in a DHCP environment. I am using KDE, so network manager is probably been managed the KDE specific tool.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install SUSE
2.confirm that you have no network access
3.click network manager's icon
Actual Results:  
I am asked to start Network Manager

Expected Results:  
I get network connectivity
