Another vote here for giving up on knetworkmanager - it doesn't work properly in 4.2 either, or not for me anyway, so I don't think there's much change of a working backport to 3.5!

I use wicd for jumping on and off wireless networks, but that is flaky too. At least it works, and if it doesn't you can see what command lines it tried to use which helps you troubleshoot.

Hello KDE3.5 users,

I'm very happy about the KDE3 PPA of Tim Pearson. All my KDE programs work, except the knetworkmanager. Therefore I wanted to ask you if you know a good solution for the knetworkmanager problem?

My current workaround is to use knetworkmanager in combination with a shell script. First I tell knetworkmanager to connect to a specific WLAN, then I start my shell which does the same. By this procedure knetworkmanager recognizes the connection and all KDE programs are cheerful.

Do you know an easier solution?

Regards, Stefan

Knetworkmanager has been buggy for quite a while and only has caused me troubles. My workaround is using nm-applet which works like a charm... Hope that helps. Ben
