It's not really expected, knetworkmanager was already somewhat deprecated back in squeeze in favor of plasma-widget-networkmanager, that is kde-standard recommends it, and upon upgrade, network-manager-kde installs the replacement. I think the reason its not added is due to a session that might have the pwnm disabled, so it won't be added in the panel even after removing knetworkmanager. But I haven't really tested this. So, yes, please, could you add a paragraph about it? Something in the lines: "should you be using the deprecated knetworkmanager standalone application, you should be prepared to do some manual configuration afterwards, since in a KDE Plasma Workspace managing of networks has been taken over by plasma- widget-networkmangement. On a upgrade, you need to manually add plasma-widget- networkmanagement to your panel, desktop or where you would like to see such a thing" (thanks to sune for the text) Also, it might be a good idea to set the conections as a system connection, so the network connection doesn't depend on having a network-manager widget running. -- "recursividad 95, 154, 156, 201, 224, 293" -- El Lenguaje de Programacion C, pag. 293 (Kernighan & Ritchie) Saludos /\/\ /\ >< `/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-doc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
