I’m using openSUSE 11.4 and KDE 4.7 and NeworkManager in my laptop. My Internet is working just fine with NM however I don’t see neither the icon in the system try nor in the System/desktop applet menu I know that networkmanager is running because I checked with yast (I thought I was using the tradicional way ifup). I also tried to re-install NM and nothing happened
I think it is a plasmoid widget that you can add. Right click desktop → add graphi… not sure what it is called, I use swedish desktop language.
You should find it…
right click the system tray, pick System Tray Properties. Thsi will open the Systray settings. Now go “Items”, unlock widgets, and check “Network”. Apply and you will see a NM icon in the systray.
