What gui interface to Network Manager are you using?
Whatever one comes with KDE 3.
Yep, that's what I thought. I never used the KDE 3 version but I might have to install it because the KDE 4 one is seriously challenged in this area. It's handling of switching between multiple wired networks is actually pretty good (very good in fact - easier than Windows) but it's missing one critical (for me) wireless feature.
The command line interface cnetworkmanager works for the wireless network but not for the wired interface. The underlying tool seems to work well now, its just the interface options for KDE4 that are lacking.
Thanks for your input, James. Very helpful.

Hi, there has been a problem with network manager since the 11.2 opensuse version with kde4. I am still using 11.1 on this laptop because it uses the kde3 networkmanager. The gurus on the mailing list devised the following to overcome the problem: zypper remove networkmanager-kde4 zypper install networkmanager-gnome gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor nm-appet & The post that I have taken this from says that there is still a problem getting gnetworkmanager to start on each boot automatically. Maybe someone has worked that out and can comment on how to get it going in another post.
