Fedora Core doesn't yet have the KDE front-end for networkmanager (knetworkmanager). Suse and Kubuntu do. The Fedora wiki says (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager) "Unfortunately, KDE currently lacks the libraries that would be required to write a desktop control applet. Specifically, the necessary QT-DBUS bindings are not yet ready. QT-DBUS bindings are currently expected to be available as part of KDE 4.0." However, I this information is wrong. Fedora Extras 5 contains dbus-qt version 0.61. Suse and Kubuntu are providing knetworkmanager using the same version of KDE as Fedora has. [david@shed ~]$ rpm -q dbus-qt dbus-qt-0.61-4.fc5
