What is the possibility of adding other backends? If I am not using
network-manager, could we use another system (wicd for example) or is
the code setup to only work with NM?

The TDE API was written with multiple backends in mind, so you could
theoretically write a backend for any network management system you want.
That being said, note that the NetworkManager backend alone is over 4000
lines of code, so writing a backend is not a trivial task!

and konversation from trying to connect.
Does it send signals when connected/disconnected? for example i'd like
konversation to reconnection when the connection becomes available.
Will the be possible with this new API?
Yes:
TDEGlobalNetworkManager* nm = KGlobal::networkManager();
if (!(nm->backendStatus() &
TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::BackendUnavailable)) {
// A network management backend is available
connect(nm,
SIGNAL(networkConnectionStateChanged(TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags,
TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags)), this,
SLOT(theGlobalNetworkStateChanged(TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags,
TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags::TDENetworkGlobalManagerFlags)));
}
I could definitely use some assistance in updating
konversation/kmail/etc
to incorporate this new functionality, so if you want to hack on those
applications please feel free!
