Hi, that icon seems to show that your "wired" network card is not connected. If you are not connected to Wifi, what icon is displayed usually? Or there is no icon at all? Hi when I start tdenetworkmanager only *one* icon is displayed, namely the one I mentioned. I click on that icon and select to connect to one wireless net, then the icon transforms to the one with the spinning wheel. (I you want I could attach a screenshot of the spinning wheel icon). Then it connects, (I check that via a ping) but the icon goes back to the original one, which indicates as you said, a not connected wired connection. Possible source of the problem. For years I only used tdenetworkmanager (kdenetworkmanager in earlier releases) only for wireless and (I am using Kubuntu) systemsetting to connect to wired nets. I tried to change that a while ago. I tried to use tdenetworkmanager also for a wired connection. So I configured the wired net and tried to connect, it never worked and I gave it up, I even deleted that configuration. However since this try the icon changed and I have the problem reported. I used apt-get purge tdenetworkmanager to solve the problem but it did not work. Ok, thanks for the detailed feedback. Would it be ok if it displayed two icons: one for the connected wifi and one for the non-connected wired one? Well not really (see below). What I don't understand is this. I installed the same Kubuntu+trinity version on 2 laptops. In the first one I never tried to use tdenetworkmanager to connect to wired and in that one everything behaves as expected. One icon to rule them all. In the second one I tried to configure tdenetworkmanger to work with the wired net and ever since the icon behaves strangely. I am 100 % sure that if I reinstalled from scratch everything on that laptop, it would behave like the first laptop. so the question is how can I avoid re installation. Curious note, I installed wicd, and since its installation I see 2 icons, the one from tdenetworkmanager and the one from wicd. Now strangely enough using wicd directly I cannot connect, but if I use tdenetworkmanager I can connect. tdenetworkmanager does not indicate the successful connection but wicd indicates that I am connected. this is absurd. ok, understood. Probably some left-over configuration file or option somewhere. I have added the bug to R14.0.5 bug list. [SOLVED] I closed tdenetworkmanager I removed the directory: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections restarted the system I started tdenetworkmanager. I had to re-configure all my wireless nets, but now the icon works. regards Uwe Brauer (In reply to Uwe Brauer from comment #6) > [SOLVED] > > I closed tdenetworkmanager > > I removed the directory: > /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections > > restarted the system > > I started tdenetworkmanager.
