Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2011-05-13 19:22:40 UTC

Yes and no.

upstream support for system connections is there, but it only supports Networkmanager-0.8, but f15 is shipping with NM-0.9

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2011-05-13 21:18:32 UTC

Right, we cannot support this with the compatibility interface exported by F15's patched NM 0.9. We can only support this when kde-plasma-networkmanagement gets ported to the real NM 0.9 API.
