By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Slávek Banko 2014-02-26 15:50:17 CST 
Backend for NetworkManager in tdehw-lib is compatible with NetworkManager9. Application knetworkmanager compatible with NetworkManager8 FTBFS. Hence, missing support for NetworkManager8. This means that users who successfully use knetworkmanager (Debian 6, Ubuntu up to 11.04, RedHat,...) for these R14 breaks network support. That is not good.

We need to either add support for NetworkManager8 into tdehw-lib (IMO a better solution) or fix knetworkmanager.

knetworkmanager8 FTBFS fixed in GIT hash a2389c3.

It would not be trivial to add network-manger 0.8 support to the TDE harware library; while network-manager >= 0.9 and network-manager < 0.9 share the same name, they export completely different APIs.  As network-manager versions < 0.9 are obsolete, and knetworkmanager8 is functional on those systems, the effort required to add support to the hardware library is not justified.
