I suggest using the GTK nm-applet for now. At least on Ubuntu Precise,
everything works perfectly when just running nm-applet in a Trinity

think it would be wise to try to replace network-manager, because there
do not seem to be any alternatives with a comparable amount of features.

I am not so sure--nm-applet won't even display it's icon here, and to make
matters worse it is a known and ignored upstream bug. The network-manager
developers seem to be focusing on Gnome/Unity only; the icon bug also
appears on xfce. To top it all off I personally think nm-applet's user
interface is rather ugly and difficult to use. :-)

I just
did an upgrade, and knetworkmanager seems to have suddenly
vanished from the build:
knetwork manager is not available for distributions that use
network-manager 0.9 or above due to the fact that critical functionality
was removed from the upstream network-manager project.
We are investigating other network management systems for inclusion in
TDE
as network-manager appears to be a poor choice for TDE at this time.
