Hello all,
Like the subject says, I’m looking for some hints for migrating
NetworkManager-kde (KDE 3 systray applet) settings to NetworkManager-kde4
(KDE 4.2 plasma widget). I use two WPA-PSK protected wireless networks
which are setup correctly in NetworkManager-kde. However, I cannot get
the settings correct in the NetworkManager-kde4 plasma widget. For
example, I would like to add the shared key in the plasma widget, not
type a password. My Google foo doesn’t seem to be helping me either. I
cannot find any docs online that speak to this specific issue. So, any
hints would be greatly appreciated!
Wireless itself works fine (the hardware). This is just a question about
wireless settings with NetworkManager-kde4.
openSUSE 11.1 i586 with KDE 4.2
TIA
