The nm-applet bug is not a TDE problem.
:( This makes me sad, especially that on old KDE 3.5 it used to work flawlessly.
I've read in mail header that You're from University, if You have Eduroam (it's an universal site in many universities), have You found any method of authenticating it in Wicd?
I am currently at home, but I will try eduroam next week. I'll report back if I succeed.
Anyway, I am anxiously waiting for R15 to be released since then the whole problem will just go away, right?
