Version: (using KDE 4.2.98) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Upgrading my KDE from 4.2.96 (RC3) to 4.2.98 (RC3) broke the networkmanger plasmoid: The control bar icon always shows the "disconnected" plug instead of the wireless icon when the connection is established. The applet is still working however: Clicking the icon shows the available wireless networks and that I am connected to a AP (see attached screenshot).

The plasmoid is work in progress

I confirm that. Using Kubuntu 9.04 KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3)

I confirm that, too using Kubuntu 9.04 KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3). Interesting detail: when I plug my Huawei UMTS Stick (E169) the WLAN status is shown correctly. Even though the UMTS stick does not work with the applet. Broadband connections not showing up.

Confirmed. Restarting plasma-desktop temporarily fixes the issue untill next time a connection is done.
Confirmed. I temporarily (maybe) dumped NM for WICD until the issue is fixed. The plasmoid was working fine until RC3. I also had a strange problem coincident with the RC3 upgrade where when I establish a VPN connection it slowly kills my wireless connection. Switching to WICD seemed to resolve that as well.
Still present in KDE 4.3 final in Kubuntu Jaunty.
Also still present for me in 4.3 final in Kubuntu Jaunty. Tried to remove the network management widget and then add it again, but that didn't help.
The plasmoid is replaced by a KDE 4 knetworkmanager tray applet for KDE 4.3, which does not have this problem. I have notified Kubuntu of this so they should have it packaged by now. Please find out from Kubuntu how they have named the package. If your plasmoid does not just show a black and white icon with a tooltip explaining the above, you have old broken code in your package.
Opened a bug report with launchpad for Kubuntu devs.
Launchpad bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/409189
Upgrading with the KDE 4.3 packages for Kubuntu 9.04 will as of an hour ago get you the new knetworkmanager applet.
Works for me with the now on Kubuntu 9.04. Thanks.
The package is called plasma-widget-networkmanagement
Works for me on Kubuntu 9.04.
I can confirm that too. Nicely solved by the Kubuntu people. Thanks Jonathan!
