This is on a laptop running oS v11.4 / kde v4.6 I was using the machine, connected wireless. I wanted to make sure that kmail wouild be isolated temporarily from the network, so I opened the networkmanager icon and unchecked wireless. Now I want to restore the network to normal operation. I cannot cause the networkmanager icon to reappear. Clicking on the "Show hidden icons" lists "Network Management"; clicking on that shows: Network management disabled <-- greyed out Enable networking <-- checked Enable wireless. <-- checked In switching from ifup control to networkmanager control, a dialog box appears informing me that "Applet needed", and informing me that if it is installed, I should start it manually; but running knetworkmanager in konsole does nothing except return to the prompt. The system's response to any attempt to reach out to the world is "No network running". A search reports lots of reported problems about networkmanager, but I haven't found this one yet.
