What is the difference between the two? NetworkManager is the system service that runs with root privileges and is responsible for configuring the network devices and responding to events.
KNetworkManager is one KDE client for NetworkManager. It runs as your first locally logged in user and is permitted by NetworkManager to provide configuration information in the form of connection data, activate connections and enable/disable the various types of networking hardware on the system.
Moer details: http://userbase.kde.org/NetworkManagement
When I install knetworkmanager it appears in the system tray in kde4. And it just works. But everyone else on the list refers to networkmanager, not knetworkmanager.
People use whatever term they have handy.

If I attempt the advice from http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_upgrade about using the plasmoid, I don't exactly get the suggested request to allow removing NetworkManager-kde4. I instead get this: Problem: NetworkManager-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 conflicts with plasmoid-networkmanagement provided by plasmoid-networkmanagement-0.9.svn1043876-1.1.1.i586 Solution 1: Following actions will be done: downgrade of NetworkManager-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-kde4-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 downgrade of NetworkManager-kde4-libs-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-kde4-libs-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 deinstallation of NetworkManager-kde4-libs-lang-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.noarch downgrade of NetworkManager-openvpn-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-openvpn-kde4-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 downgrade of NetworkManager-pptp-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-pptp-kde4-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 downgrade of NetworkManager-vpnc-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-vpnc-kde4-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 Solution 2: do not ask to install a solvable providing plasmoid-networkmanagement I would think downgrading is not the same as removing. So, should I perhaps remove NetworkManager first (to be sure it is gone), and then add the plasmoid?
