I apologize upfront if I missed something but - I noticed since applying the 4.2 updates from the test repository that knetworkmanager no longer works for me to connect to wireless. Wired networks appear to work fine. The only way I've seen to get around this is to install NetworkManager-gnome. When this is installed knetworkmanager works fine (but isn't really needed since NetworkManager-gnome is installed.... duh...).
I did some searching and found: http://www.osnews.com/story/20758/KDE_4_2_Progress_New_NetworkManager_P la sm oid_Coming
which looks like the old knetworkmanager is on the way out (or with 4.2 appears already gone... ;-) )
The new plasmoid isn't going to be distributed until 4.3 but apparently is available to test with now.
What's the current direction on this? Use NetworkManager-gnome until 4.3, make the plasmoid available to use or fix the old knetworkmanager?
That said, so far I'm really pleased with 4.2 - things appear to be working fine!
Confirmed. Last night's update brought me
Name : NetworkManager Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 0.7.0 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 2.git20090207.fc10 Build Date: Sat 07 Feb 2009 02:39:06 PM GMT Install Date: Tue 10 Feb 2009 02:39:24 PM GMT Build Host: x86-6.fedora.phx.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: NetworkManager-0.7.0-2.git20090207.fc10.src.rpm
Before that I had been using knetworkmanager with NetworkManager-gnome uninstalled. This morning I could get no connection. Installing NetworkManager-gnome connected immediately after a reboot.

Please file a bugreport, preferably against NetworkManager if you suspect its recent update broke the wireless networking for networkmanager-kde
Done - #485097. Gerald, please add your comments.
