I'm running NetworkManager (NM) under Fedora-6 with KDE, but am not entirely happy with it, and I'm wondering what the general experience of Fedora/KDE users is with NM?
WORKSFORME, but I (generally) use knetworkmanager (instead of NetworkManager-gnome, aka nm-applet).
Much also depends on your wireless chipset/driver.
In brief, I have two WiFi LANs in my house; and this seems to confuse NM. If I try to change from one to the other NM loses all knowledge of both, and I have to re-boot to get any connection.
Actually, I have found that taking out my PCMCIA WiFi card and re-inserting it seems to do almost as well as re-booting.
[There used to be a "service pcmcia" under Fedora, but that seems to have disappeared.]
With my present understanding of NM, I would give it beta minus, while I would give the standard system-config-network delta, as I cannot understand what it is trying to do (eg with profiles), and it definitely does not seem to be doing anything sensible.
