Figure 5.3 KNetworkManager—Congured and Available Connections
At the moment, Bluetooth connections cannot be congured with NetworkManager.
5.4 Using KNetworkManager
The KDE front-end for NetworkManager is the KNetworkManager applet. If the network
has been set up for NetworkManager control, the applet usually starts automatically
with the desktop environment and is shown as an icon in the system tray.
If your system tray does not show any network connection icon, the applet is probably
not started. Press [Alt] + [F2] and enter knetworkmanager to start it manually.
KNetworkManager only shows wireless networks that you have congured a connec-
tion for. It hides connections when you are out of range of a wireless network, or
when the network cable is disconnected, thus always giving you a clear view of which
connections may be used.
5.4.1 Connecting to Wired Networks
If your computer is connected to an existing network with a network cable, use
KNetworkManager to choose the network connection.
1 Left-click the applet icon to show a menu with available networks. The connec-
tion currently being used is selected in the menu and marked as Active.
2 If you want to use a dierent conguration with the wired network, click
Manage Connections and add another wired connection as described in Pro-
cedure 5.1, “Adding or Editing Connections” (page 58).
3 Click the KNetworkManager icon and select the newly congured connection
to activate it.
5.4.2 Connecting to Wireless Networks
By default, KNetworkManager only shows wireless networks that you have congured
a connection for—provided they are both available and visible. To connect to a
wireless network for the rst time, proceed as follows:
