[PPC] Network Manager not enabled by default in KDE?
Dear sirs,
I had a spare morning today, and decided to install Arch PPC on an iBook G4 I was given yesterday. The install went flawless, and everything works generally well (except X.org, guess it needs some playing time).
However, I was looking at the Network Manager thing I had seen on KDE(mod)4, you know, to interface with Network Manager and do all that jazzy networking.
Is it possible that it is not available on Arch PPC, KDE 4.3.4-ppc? I have pacman -Ss'd, but the results are just three: library, base daemon, and the gnome thing.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,

Yeah, the KNetworkManager for kdemod isn't official and I believe they uses some patches to make KNetworkManger from KDE 3 work. KNetworkManager will be in the next release until then a lot of people recommend using wicd or some other program.

I am using netcfg configuration for quite sometime and it's really simple with enough availability.
