I had the plasmoid. I have both frontends installed, the gnome and the kde one (using the gnome one) and cnetworkmanager. Yes, you can run only one at the same time. But the plasmoid i had did nothing except that popup (of course after it got deprecated for now). Could of course be that my brain serves bad here and i had to de-install it. Will try it later with some time again. -- LG Thomas Dubium sapientiae initium
