 I agree, knetworkmanager is much nicer than messing with system settings
in KDE..(an admin password is needed to enable/disable eth0 all the time
in both cases...) I think knetworkmanager must be taking exclusion of
other resources.. As oppose to just being a front end for controlling
them...(isn't that what it's supposed to be?) *yawns tiredly* Why must
networking be this way...
 Maybe it's secure to not let grandma have physical access to the
internet on my computer.. lol, anyways, I digress!
