knetworkmanager should now work with wi-fi. I have just connected my laptop to wlan with knetworkmanager-kde3.
Do you manage to do the same on the base of 12.1?
I don't. These are my related packages:
dbus-1-1.5.8-2.1.2.i586 dbus-1-glib-0.98-2.1.2.i586 dbus-1-qt3-0.62-234.1.2.i586 dbus-1-qt3-devel-0.62-234.1.2.i586 dbus-1-x11-1.5.8-2.1.3.i586 libdbus-1-qt3-0-0.8.1-141.1.i586 libdbusmenu-qt2-0.9.0-2.1.2.i586 knetworkmanager-kde3-0.7_pre1075348-82.1.i586 knetworkmanager-openvpn-kde3-0.7_pre1075348-82.1.i586
I can control the eth interface, but not the wlan interface. The wifi hardware is working correctly, if used without network manager.
With knetworkmanager (or should I call it knotworkmanager ;-) SCR), the SSID and the field strength is displayed correctly, but connecting to it fails due to some dbus issues.
NM API changed very much with version 0.9 and it is incompatible with the previous versions. Some (or all) functions may not work.
The question is: how hard is the adjustment...
Anybody looked into it already? It might be worth looking into kde4 knetworkmanager as a reference.
People, how do you control your wifi with KDE3 and 12.1 - the gnome one has issues with its password manager (at least for me), and the kde4 one seems to depend on the kde4 environment?

Hans, sorry for the double post to you, webmail does not have a reply to list option, only a reply to all. at any rate, you can go to opensuse.org and do a one click install of wicd and all your wifi worries will go away. two problems with it are: 1. if you click on the dots of a password the password itself will appear- that is not a show stopper for me 2. The big list of wifi connections is set up to require root priviledge, the quick and dirty way around that is to change the permissions of the /etc/wicd and ~/wicd directories AND subdirs to the reular user. regards, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
