Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #308376, revision 5 Title: wicd like a network manager - openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.3: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) + reject date: 2010-11-04 13:49:54 + reject reason: Not done. Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Agustin Chavarria (dj_ubun_1) Description: The network manager in opensuse 11.2, sucks! i use wicd for months and i dont have any problem with that. - It will be great use wicd like a network manager in opensuse 11.3 Discussion: #1: Roger Smith (dwarfer99) (2010-01-22 10:17:45) I have not been able to get NM working in ANY version of KDE 4 on a r60e. WICD however works first time. I would agree, for a number of reasons, that I do not think that NM should be the default for openSUSE, but mainly because - it simply doesn't work for me, and many other people. KDE is up to a 4.4 release, and still NM is crippled. I endorse the idea of using WICD as default. #2: andrea florio (anubisg1) (2010-01-22 10:34:06) (reply to #1) wicd is quite broken really, and any way, the problem is NOT network manager (that perfectly works), but the "applet" developed by kde4 guys. from my side, i ALWAYS switch to gnome applet (nm-applet) even on kde and it works like a charm #3: Egon Niessner (nie3) (2010-11-04 10:19:16) In most cases, it was not possible for me, to administrate a running WLAN connection with network Manager when I have to use closed drivers with ndiswrapper. The WLAN handling there is anti-intuitive....!!! wicd has a much better way for handling WLAN connections ! Insert wicd into the opensuse repository, that it can be installed by YAST!
