After reading some recent comments here about the state of the KDE NetworkManager applet in Debian I went hunting for news, and found this article dated 7th.Nov.2009, which I link here for the benefit of anyone who's interested but hasn't seen the article :
http://www.kdenews.org/2009/11/07/introducing-kde-4-knetworkmanager The article is quite informative about why KNetworkManager has been a long time coming, and what we can expect anytime soon. It seems a system tray applet exists now, and a Plasma applet for KNetworkManager is expected to appear in KDE 4.4, and that also work has been done to enable the GUI components to interface with alternative backends (such as 'Wicd') which will be good news for those who don't think much of 'NetworkManager'. I realise this might all be well known to some folks here :) Cheers Nick Boyce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
