Tried the new version and have still the same problems running Kubuntu on a
Thinkpad T60 using KNetworkManager.
Version 0.6.4-6ubuntu4 worked fine, when attached to the wired network, the
corresponding icon was shown, when atached to WLAN, the connectivity level
was shown. After updating to 0.6.4-6ubuntu5 only the 'not-connected' icon is
showing and in the menu of the applet is an entry saying 'no network device
found'
(or similar; it is in German). With the new source I have the same behavior.
After looking in the source for version 0.6.4-6ubuntu4 and 0.6.4-6ubuntu7
maybe the problem is in function nm_system_device_get_disabled() in
src/backends/NetworkManagerDebian.c . In version 0.6.4-6ubuntu4 the last
check ('If the interface has no options other than just "inet dhcp" it's
probably ok to fiddle with it.') was disabled. In the current version the
check is done. When a manual configuration was done, there are other options
in /etc/network/interface which sets the device on the blacklist.
I have no experience how the network interface settings stuff works internal
(I am just a user of the GUI controling programs/applets) but version
0.6.4-6ubuntu4 worked for me most of the time (when switching from WLAN to
LAN I had to re-load the manual settings because the DNS entries where not
updated). so I do not know if now the "bug" is on my side how I am managing
my network connections.
