Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-kde
This happened to both my installs of Kubuntu Karmic a5 with the identical
results. Using the KDE applet I`m trying to add the connection.
Clicking "Managing connections" and naming the connection... Although there`s
an "Auto eth0" connection there in applet, the list is initially empty.
Entering my IP and gateway and DNS, but no way to enter netmask because there`s
no such a field (?). After Ok and Apply, the connection (say, "Inet") cannot be
activated from applet when clicking, no activity can be seen. "Auto eth0" works
and tries to get an IP, which fails, of course.
Another thing is "Enable wireless" setting in applet, which cannot be set
disabled permanently - it comes back after restart.
I can get network working only with editing config files as usual. Ths makes
this applet totally unusable for me.
PS
Tried the Gnome applet in Karmic, and it works ok. BTW, netmask setting is
there...
