It is said that the KDE has released to the 4.5. Meanwhile, with the updating, the problem of Knetworkmanager isn't solved. When I was trying the fedora 14 kde and the kubuntu 10.10, the network manager was still unavailable that when I created a new PPPOE connection and apply it, I could not see it in the connection list so that I could not choose it to connect to Internet. So I am now using the ubuntu 10.10. The only release edition that is now using KDE as the main desktop environment is Mandriva 2010.2, which is using KDE 4.4.3. I was told that the Knetworkmanager as it is an open software, it will not be solved until... until when?

If I understand what you are saying, then it will never be solved. knetworkmanager is no longer being actively developed. You need to use the networkmanager plasmoid instead. That is where all the developer effort is going. So it is not that networkmanager development is dead, it is just that it has moved from knetworkmanager to the more flexible networkmanager plasmoid.

I think @grubstreet is talk about networkmanager plasmoid, because I have the problem too with the networkmanager plasmoid:

I can creat profile of connections, such as pppoe, home wifi, but I can't apply it. click the item, no responding.

the problem maybe exists for months:

some one switch to the old knetworkmanager: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=89599
