Could someone please tell me how to use KNetworkManager?
I have kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9.0.2-1.fc16.i686

KNetworkManager.
Could someone please clue me in?
You're running KDE under F16, yes?
Do you have the "System Tray" widget on your panel? I think, by default,
you should see a pair of scissors, a speaker (volume control) and the
Network Manager icon
(RJ-45 connector icon). If you have some of the icons....but not the
RJ-45 you can right click on the area and pick "System Tray Settings" and
make the changes you need to expose the network control.
This raises an issue I've wondered about for some time, namely
What info does NM provide, and what is provided by KNM?
What if you don't run KNM -
could one still access Network Management Settings, and if so how?
The old system-config-network appears to have been replaced
by something which I find completely useless.
It only lists my ethernet interface (eth0), which I am not using.
In my experience anything to do with networking on Fedora/KDE
is utterly confusing and confused,
compared eg with the simplicity of networking under Windows.
xfce4 desktop (and I assume gnome as well) have an icon
similar to the windows network icon (image of two monitors
side by side). This is the nm-applet and it does work for setting
up the wireless and the wired. You right-click it and select
Edit Connections, and take it from there.
