I seem to be in a position of a lack of ammo. My local

fixed addressing via a common /etc/hosts file, with the individual
machine being located in that file by its name.
So the bottom line is that the name of the machine, and its address are
in the /etc/hosts file. And the rest of it, includeing the duplicated
address, is in /etc/networking/interfaces. With an /etc/resolv.conf set
to hosts,dns, any name that is not in the hosts file, that query is sent
to the gateway device, which in this case is running a small cacheing
nameserver, and it that doesn't hit, its sent on to my ISP's dns
servers. All transparent to me.
But, anything that looks or acts like network manager has been removed
from my system. So any comments I might make about NM should be taken as
the best swag* I can make based on 18 years of running linux.
*swag, a Scientific Wild Ass Guess.

That is meant to show that its the same as kde-, but is tde-
instead if you have most of trinity installed. And lots of bugs
in the kde version, have been fixed in the tde version. So the
files aren't exactly the same if compared. The diffs are bug
fixes for the most part. So thank a tde developer for that.
Well may be, but I insist in my .trinity tree there is no file which
contains the wifi configuration. I made a grep for example for the
wifi network which I am connected to. Greping the name for example No
result.
