(Get the code!)
Hello,
I can confirm the problem.
Made a clean install of intrepid kubuntu yesterday and updated everything. All configuration in /etc/network is left as it is by default, i.e. nothing configured. Went on to configure my network with kde networkmanager. I have a manually assigned static IP. It was unable to connect, but showed no specific error either.
To be able to update kubuntu, i made the network work temporarily using ifconfig, route and a write to /etc/resolv.conf, which are all nonpermanent measures i believe.
I don't have any wireless networking to test at the moment.
Additionally i installed the gnome version of networkmanager, killed the KDE one, started nm-applet, made settings there, and had network working instantly. Just to make sure, i went back to KDE version, but was still unable to make it working.
I also noticed that the profiles i created in Gnome and in KDE versions are not shared between them - i don't know whether this is supposed to be like that.
If i can make any further diagnostics, let me know.
Also it is somewhat annoying that knetworkmanager uses Qt3, as one would normally want to avoid running too many different UI toolkits all the time, Gnome version almost makes more sense atm within KDE.
