Description
KDE upstream features a Network manager applet.
Setup
A PC with a supported wired, wireless (wifi) or mobile (GSM) radio device, and the NetworkManager
stack
How to test
- Boot to KDE Plasma Desktop, the NM applet icon appears in the system tray
- (optional) Check whether you have the wifi radio HW switch on (if present)
- Ensure you can see all the available network Interfaces in the left pane of the applet's popup window
- Try to connect to some wireless (wifi) access points (APs), preferably using different authentication mechanisms (WEP, WPA, WPA2, ...)
- (optional) If available, try to connect to the Internet using your GSM/CDMA mobile phone (connected either via USB tethering or Bluetooth)
- (optional) Check whether connecting to your prefered VPN (vpnc, OpenVPN, ...) network is possible
Expected Results
- All available network interfaces are visible and accessible
- The applet connects to the Internet using any of the available network interfaces and disconnects upon clicking the little red check button next to the interface name
