knetworkmanager 0.7 for KDE 3, as shipped in openSUSE 11.0, was written by a kernel hacker, and I jumped in as a KDE developer late in the cycle to do the minimum cleanups needed to get it functional for release. While I am very grateful that Helmut wrote knm3, its UI could do better.

Please have a go of KDE 4 knetworkmanager, currently under development for openSUSE 11.2 and available for 11.1 via the Build Service, and let me know if you think we've improved matters.

Well, I'd love to, but can I *run* that on 11.0? Without installing KDE4 (which I'm still not using)? And if so, does that mean I have to grab the SRPM and build it myself?

(Thanks for this reply, BTW, and my apologies that my own was so delayed.)
