Hi all,

Fedora 7
KDE 3.6

Through numerous posts on numerous forums, bug requests and a whole lot of searching I have come to the conclusion that Knetworkmanager is an absolute waste of time in its current form.

What I am looking for is an alternative to this. In an ideal world it would provide the same functionality (able to view and connect to wireless networks, able to connect to wired networks AND not decide it will use DHCP on a statically configured interface).

If such an alternative doesn't exist then a wireless connection manager that enables my users to view and connect to wireless networks in range would be nice.

Thanks

Try wicd. See http://wicd.sourceforge.net/

It does what you want, and works ten times better for me than NetworkManager. Got my AdHoc wireless network running in 30 seconds - something I have been struggling with for weeks!
