--- Comment #2 from Giuseppe Gorgoglione
I think NetworkManager is only the default for laptops, while wicked would be used on other machines.
Is this a laptop? Wired or Wireless connection?
My installation is under VMware Workstation. The host system is a laptop with both wired and wireless connections (both shared with guest as virtual wired connection through NAT). I just reinstalled a VM from scratch and verified that my bug description was not totally correct: the network connection is actually available out of the box, served by wicked. I was confused by the fact that the KDE NetworkManager tray applet is still loaded by default even when NetworkManager service is disabled, and incorrectly shows the network as not available. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

OK, so the summary is that after a default DVD KDE install, network is working via wicked, but KDE shows NetworkManager's disconnected-link-icon in the bottom right which is at least confusing
Yes, exactly. I also dearly miss the possibility to get in a simple way from the applet information about IP / MAC address / throughput of each connection, when NetworkManager service is disabled, but indeed the major point is the misrepresentation of the status. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
