There is nothing specific except 'should be fixed with current git' It's too late in the cycle to just pull all the stuff in there, please try to find out the specific commits so we can apply them, I'll set you up with fixed rpms to test then.

sadly I'm not familiar with git and other development tools. KDE 4.6.1 would probably solve the problem.

That is what I did: 0. Have a look and get barely familiar with knetworkmanager configuration files; I would recommend adding some connections (wifi or wired or something) and watching what happens under the hood: ~/.kde4/share/config/networkmanagementrc ~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections/ 1. Log off the user in X (not sure if this is actually required) 2. Copy an old connection file (or prepare a new one) in the connections directory, e.g.: # contents of ~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections/{baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46} [connection] autoconnect=false icon=phone id=Pepephone timestamp=2011,2,26,20,53,45 type=gsm uuid={baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46} [gsm] apn=gprs.pepephone.com band=0 networkid= networktype=0 number=*99# username= [ipv4] addresses= dhcpclientid= dhcphostname= dns= dnssearch= ignoreautoroute=false ignoredhcpdns=false method=Automatic neverdefault=false routes= [ppp] baud=0 crtscts=false lcpechofailure=0 lcpechointerval=0 mppestateful=false mru=0 mtu=0 noauth=false nobsdcomp=false nodeflate=false novjcomp=false refusechap=false refuseeap=false refusemschap=false refusemschapv2=false refusepap=false requiremppe=false requiremppe128=false [serial] baud=115200 bits=8 parity=None senddelay=0 stopbits=1 # end of ~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections/{baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46} 3. Add a definition and a reference to this connection in ~/.kde4/share/config/networkmanagementrc ## connection definition [Connection_{baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46}] LastUsed=2011,2,26,20,54,7 Name=Pepephone Type=gsm ## append a comma and the ID (with curly braces) to the Connections variable in [General] section [General] Connections={d7b90f22-d183-488e-a358-6b9e062cde5b},{98e415e6-e0cb-496e-9ccd-e1114cc92511},{9615439a-fc98-470c-a124-c9cbc8360713},{ef2b1151-1c30-4ee8-bd9d-817f9ab56121},{baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46} 4. Log in again and try to connect -- keep an eye on tail -f /var/log/NetworkManager 5. The connection details can now be edited on the GUI, you probably want to enter the PIN etc. cheers! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

ah ok sorry for the panic, no chance to get it into 11.4 anyways I was just told, we'll ship a more recent snapshot per online update I guess, we will also get better test coverage by moving it in a more widely used repository.

This didn't happen yet. Even http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.4 still has the ages old knetworkmanager software.

If the PIN code query is activated KDE4 will extremly slow down with nearly 100% CPU time (used by the KDE4 process). Sometimes a windows for entering the PIN code pops up, but sometimes this window just only remains in a complete gray color and nothing more happens. Best workaround to avoid this is to deactivate the PIN code query on the SIM card. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can confirm that bringing up a mobile broadband connection (USB Huawei E220) does work with NetworkManager-gnome 0.8.2-9.10.1 in the gnome desktop even for SIMs with activated PIN -- and also in KDE! Maybe it is important to answer the dialog window with the request for PIN as soon as possible (root password is necessary in the next dialog window...).

I'm sorry it was to good to be true :-( It worked until I had to reboot (it did survive hibernate, but not the reboot) then I had to deinstall plasmoid-networkmanagement to make any connection...

Of course the real solution still is: - make knetworkmanger robust enough so does it does not crash if there is no data, the user could still make manual configurations - declare a suitable dependency that mobile-broadband-provider-info gets installed to all systems with knetworkmanager by default. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
