For More Information - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 11 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 17-03-2009 Administration Manual

If your KDE 4 system tray does not show any icon for network connections (as
might be the case after switching from a static network configuration to user-con-
trolled with NetworkManager in YaST), add the NetworkManager widget to the
panel: right-click an empty patch on the panel, and select Panel Options > Add
Widgets. (If your desktop objects are currently locked, you might need to click
Unlock Widgets first before you can add any objects.) In the dialog box that appears,
select NetworkManager and click Add Widget.
NetworkManager Applet/Widget Does Not Include the VPN Option
Support for NetworkManager, applets, and VPN for NetworkManager is distributed
in separate packages. If your NetworkManager applet/widget does not include the
VPN option, check if the packages with NetworkManager support for your VPN
technology are installed. For more information, see
and VPN"
SCPM Does Not Switch the Network Configuration
You are probably using SCPM together with NetworkManager. NetworkManager
is not currently able to work with SCPM profiles. Do not use NetworkManager
together with SCPM when SCPM profiles also change network settings. To use
SCPM and NetworkManager at the same time, disable the network resource in
SCPM configuration.
No Network Connection Available
If you have configured your network connection correctly and all other components
for the network connection (router, etc.) are also up and running, it sometimes helps
to restart the network interfaces on your computer. To do so, log in to a command
line as root and run rcnetwork restart.
