Network Management - probably pebcak needs sorting

[Benjamin HAAS]

Hi,
First time I am posting here! I had exactly the same problem as Anne.
Sometimes, knetworkmanager tells me a that network
management is disabled while everything looks properly configured in the
system settings. this what I do when this happens :
 1.  Kill knetworkmanager
 2.  launch nm-applet (Indeed, I have to keep it installed for such cases !)
 3. On the system-tray icon, *right*-click and I think that you will the
check box "Enable networking" that is unchecked. Check it. The point is that
I cannot find any equivalent of this checkbox in knetworkmanager. (Of
course,I checked before that network and NetworkManager are enabled at
startup !)
 4. nm-applet should work fine now, but you can kill it and relaunch
knetworkmanager, which  should also work.

Hope it helps,

Ben
