[SOLVED] knetworkmanager quit working after upgrade to 0.2.2-1

knetworkmanager quit working after upgrade to 0.2.2-1 / 0.6.6-1

I was hoping there would be some topic addressing the issue or another update but it's been a couple weeks and I guess i'm the only one with this problem.

i had knetworkmanager working with networkmanager in kdemod to connect my atheros wifi, but after the upgrade it stopped working.  it will still work for wired network connections, and it DOES show the wireless networks in the area, but when i try to connect to wireless it just gives a brief popup window, then goes back to the disconnected status.

i have been using wireless assistant to connect and it's much less convenient because it's not automatic.

any help to resolve this would be wonderful!!

i don't use knetworkmanager (or kde for that matter) so i'm not sure i'll be able to figure out anything specific regarding your problem, however i do recommend wicd for a networkmanager replacement. but if i figure out anything i'll let you know.

I got exactly the same problem after upgrading networkmanager. i tracked the error down to this error msg

Looks like networkmanager queries a wrong value from dbus ----> "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"

Solved the error on my box. I ran into this error after a complete reinstall of arch, and i just forgot to make my user a member of the users group
