So I switched back to opensuse 11.4, and installed a 3.1.x kernel and everything works again. I am using the x64 system and the latest KDE 4.7.3 upstream release 10.
When I installed the 11.4 system it installs with knetworkmanager to control the wlan and ethernet connections. I tried to switch to plasmoid-networkmanagement per these instructions

but I can't get an icon to present itself in the right side of the kicker bar to control the internet connections. I can connect to my home network via wlan because it was all set up before the switch from knetworkmanager, but I can't control the connection now. There is no icon present to click on to start the connection manager graphic display. I am definitely in network manager mode, not ifup.
How do I get the icon to display so I can control the connections?

Apply the method of the reply by 'nrickert' and it would solve your problem.
Hi, thanks for your reply. I read through the forum thread, and it seems that "nrickert" doesn't understand the difference between knetworkmanager and plasmoid-networkmanagement. I don't see that it references the issue that I am having, nor how to fix it. I think that he fell into the fix when he installed plasmoid network management. But thanks for trying. I did find that I can control the wireless connection from the "configure desktop > Network and Connectivity > Network Settings" module in the start menu, so I can control the connections now. But I still don't see how to get an icon into the kicker panel to control connections. It ought to be installed with the plasmoid management program install. But it just isn't showing up and there doesn't seem to be any widget to add that will control it when I right click kicker > panel options > add widgets. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
