Knetwork wwan speed icon

Wed Nov 10, 2010 2:36 pm
Hi all,
I have the following wwan card on my Thinkpad T500:
Ericsson Business Mobile Networks BV F3507g Mobile Broadband

After the connection the knetwork manager is not able to detect the wwan speed. (e.g. GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA, etc).
Is it a defect? How should I signal the bug?

Then I'd like suggest a feature improvement:
Show the wireless speed directly from the icon using colors, e.g. green for gprs, blue for edge, yellow for umts, violet for HSPA... at the same time the number of wave can show the signal power like common cell phone.

Thanks,
Donato

This is not a defect in KDE itself, the hardware itself may not be exposing this information to the Modem driver, or the driver itself may not be exposing it.

Well... it's strange because Gnome Network Manager is able to show it.

Which version of Fedora are you using? You may wish to ask about this on the kde-hardware-devel@kde.org mailing list, where the developer of this feature is.

Fedora 14, today it was updated at KDE 4.5.3... and the problem persist.
May I write to mail list, or should I subscribe to it before?
I found even another problem: sometime the connection cannot be closed (clicking on the red cross).

Simply writing to the list should be enough. A moderator may need to approve your email if needed. I highly suggest stating which WWAN card your machine has and the interface it connects to your computer using in your mail.
