[Bug 326105] Re: knetworkmanager doesn't start automatically

[Brett Sheffield]

Same problem.  I upgraded last night from 8.10 -> 9.04 and part way
through the upgrade networking stopped working.

After completing the upgrade I noticed Network manager had vanished from
both the taskbar and the menus.

To get a DHCP address (wired) I had to either plug in the cable *after*
booting had completed, or restart networking at the command line.

The knetworkmanager binary is still present, but even running it
manually, it fails to start.

I've now added the network management widget and will start plugging my
wpa keys back into that and testing wifi.

That's me sorted, but it's far from a smooth upgrade when networking
vanishes with no explanation.  Makes it hard for some to get online and
find help.

Perhaps the networking widget should be installed by default?  Yes,
that's changing the user's desktop, but given that the upgrade process
threw away my themes, desktop wallpaper and some other kde settings,
this is a relatively small change :-)
