Hello.Earlier today, I've updated some kde components that were prompted by Kpackagekit. Now, the applet for Network is displaying wrongly, it shows the icon for a wired connection (I'm connect through wi-fi) and I can't enable wi-fi when I click on it. When I pass the mouse over it, it says "wi-fi disable by hardware". Help, please?

did you try a reboot or a restart of KDE? may need to restart the network manager

Yes, I rebooted. The issue remains...

Edit: Oh, and it says WLAN interface Error: Invalid Status.

Edit 2: By the way, I'm running KDE 4.7.

Fixed!

With the new KDE update!

Noticed the same thing. This morning's batch of updates broke NetworkManager; this evening's updates fixed it.

Hello, but how should I update, when I can't connect to internet? Is there any way how to make internet working?

Thanks

you need an ethernet (wired) connection or to dl the packages on a different computer and install them from a thumb drive or cd

thx, but I have no idea, where should I download it from... I will try to google it...

Did your wired Ethernet break, too? Even though the icon never showed a plugged-in cable during the "outage" yesterday, my Ethernet connection still behaved. That's how I was able to download the update to the update.

Hi ! (sorry for my bad english !)

I've got a same problem since yesterday on my kubuntu.

I kake all last update but I've always got same problem with this applet...
