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.

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.

The plasma-nm (KDE NetworkManager) is a frontend for NetworkManager. Which as far as I know is still the default for openSUSE and both GNOME and KDE rely on NetworkManager as the default. How did wicked ended up to be in control of the network interfaces ? Was this chosen during install ? At this moment there is no alternative then to remove manually plasma-nm from the installation. In the future with KDE Frameworks I believe that plasma-nm is only loaded in the systray if it detects a running NetworkManager -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
