Description Kamil Neczaj 2009-11-12 19:29:57 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

I can't use more than one network device with knetworkmanager. For example I want to connect to Internet using on-board ethernet card and connect to LAN using external ethernet card. I can't establish these two connections at the same time.

Another issue is that the gui have all connections mixed so even I don't know which connection is for which card. If there is only one ethernet card and one wifi card in the system I can recognize connections by icons, but when there are two wired ethernet cards or two wifis I can't do that.

Your first problem should be solvable by using the 'Restrict to interface' setting in the Wired tab.

The second is a problem; i'll show the interface name in the popup.

I created a patch to hover the connection item when the interface item is hovered. Please test it http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/5249/ .

In a few weeks I will commit the patch if there is no problems with it.

SVN commit 1171411 by lvsouza:

Since sebas acked I am commiting this change which duplicates the hover
event from an interface item (left widget) to its respective connection
item (right widget). This make it possible to distinguish which connection
is associated to the interface.
This patch solves the second problem described in bug 214297.
