Network-Manager Applet moved to KDE Review!
I finally got the NM Applet into a feature complete state and it’s been moved to kdereview. This involved lots of sleep deprived nights to get it in on time. I’ll be adding features frequently from now until I go on vacation on 16-May. One necessary feature will be to implement automatic interface switching which will allow the applet to automatically connect to a wired interface when it’s plugged in and fallback on a wireless interface when the wired connection is removed. These parameters will all be set in the profile manager that is accessible from the applet menu.

I am really looking forward to try this out. How are things going?

There was a large change to the Solid-Control API shortly before I was going on vacation so I was not able to get it in on time. It’s been moved back into playground until it can be in a feature complete state. It will be released in extragear and hopefully part of the kdenetwork package in KDE 4.2. Being in extragear has it’s advantages though in that we can add features such as CDMA and GSM before the next official KDE release.

Yeeeeeeh baby yeaaaaah! It seems I can say goodbye very soon to my gnome network-manager. Not that it’s bad, but integration with KDE 4.1 is baaaaad. Cheers to you (and others). I hope it will soon land in extra-gear.
