Is anyone running NetworkManager with KDE? I have installed NetworkManager-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3.i386.rpm and NetworkManager-gnome-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3.i386.rpm on my Fedora-3 system, but when I "chkconfig NetworkManager on" and reboot, the expected "windmill icon" does not appear in my panel.
Do you have a notification area?
Yes, I have a notification area/system tray with the laptop-monitor in it.
I have the two packages installed: =================================== NetworkManager-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3.i386.rpm NetworkManager-gnome-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3.i386.rpm =================================== and have run "chkconfig NetworkManager on" to ensure that it runs on booting.
I'm running NM in GNOME. I did the following:
# chkconfig network off # chkconfig NetworkManager on reboot log in $ NetworkManagerInfo
Then the windmill starts and I can connect (most of the time...).
To ensure that NMI starts again at login, log out and select "save configuration".
In fact, when I re-boot, I get a window with the message "The action you requested needs root privileges" with the relevant NetworkManagerInfo command listed. I give the superuser password (twice) and find that the NetworkManager programs are running:
NMI should not require root, as I understand it. Start it from a user terminal.

But there is no NetworkManager icon in my System Tray.
Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
