I have both Gnome and KDE. I prefer KDE and was planning on just
installing KDE with F9. But it seems that Network Manager is a Gnome
app. So my question is this, do I need to install Gnome to get Network
Manager, or will only installing KDE give me Network Manager also?

Also, after I install the, wpa_supplicant RPM, I will not have to do
any configuration for it and Network Manager will do it all? Am I
right in saying this?

Thanks again Kevin.
