Oops, try svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdereview/knetworkmanager
And that starts the long road to an unmaintainable system like I have at home, where it took me a year to actually get everything I needed working right. So the system works great, but not even yum in that early version will touch it, too many broken dependencies. I'd druther not start down that road just yet with this new lappy.
Understandable so NM may not be something for you until someone builds a KNetworkManager RPM. Though I can't imagine that KNetworkManager would cause this problem since it does not require any special libraries and if you use Checkinstall it can be removed cleanly.

I think you might be speaking out of anger here and not looking at this objectively. I have lurked/posted here for awhile and have found everyone to be very responsive but a certain level of initiative is expected and willingness to experiment since this is a pre-1.0 release. If you read the list archives you will see A LOT of discussion and help between the devs and others posted on this list. A number of suggestions have been provided but you have dismissed them. I think the problems for you are the following: 1) Your Distro does not have the KDE Front-end yet - Not NM's fault 2) Your Distro decided not to include the patches for direct NDISWrapper support or is running an old version of NDISWrapper - Not NM's fault You may not like the answer but it is the truth, it has been proven repeatedly that NM works for ALOT of people and if you are not willing to experiment then nobody can help you. If you are not comfortable building a package yourself and working out the problems then your only choice is to switch to a distro with support or wait until FC5 supports it so these issues are cleared up for you. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
