No, KNetworkManager of (G)NetworkManager. Pick a side. We're at war.
Donb't know why you say that, Arthur. They don't seem to war in any way :-)
Maybe a joke? Actually, there was a time after an update when I could only
get a connection if I had both running - I haven't a clue why, and I can't be
bothered to fight something that works, so it may be still necessary, or maybe
not. I've tried quitting knetworkmanager, and NM still runs, but when I
reboot knetworkmanager starts alongside NM-applet. I suspect knetworkmanager
is handling the WPA bit better than NM-applet, but I don't really know what's
happening.
