Kmail here is always online, which, for an enterprise type
workstation
is what I lwant. Laptops may benifit from networkmanager, I
never have
and don't need one more thing to deal with in my environment.
This is one reason why I would like this feature to use the TDE
network
system, as that system a.) falls back gracefully when
NetworkManager is
not installed and b.) is designed so that other network backends
(e.g.
simply reading ifconfig) can be added in the future.
In summary, not everyone uses a wireless connection. :-)
We have a place to direct this conversation and patching:

BTW, this is a healthy enhancement request but is not an R14.0.0 priority.

It can be implemented as a KDED service, which pinging to a predefined IP (or to gateway) and expose the network state via DCOP. Unfortunately, is not my priority, because I use NetworkManager.
