Since the appearence of networkmanager 0.8.998 and the corresponding networkmanager plasmoid, I had to use older versions. With the latest versions, things looks fine, but they do not connect and shows no error messages(!!).

Upgrading my distro (archlinux) yesterday lead to new grief, now my installed versions (NetworkManager 0.8.3 and kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement git20110405-1) are partially broken, or rather, the plasmoid is: It claims that the wireless is disabled by hardware, and shows my network as not connected, while I am happily browsing. Of course this means that I can not search for networks or chose which to connect to, using the plasma applet - it has become redundant, and there is now no functional KDE GUI for network.



i would greatly appreciate hints and tips about how to fix the networkmanager solution (while I am not interrested in advice to use wicd).

I am using arch linux, kernel is 2.6.38-ARCH.

This now works without any real explanation - just updated to latest versions. Maybe a result of archlinux updating kdeworkspace. Well...

This is likely a result of NetworkManager and KDE Network Manager updates being done incorrectly by your distribution - which they seem to have fixed fortunately.
