Description Anthony Scire 2009-11-17 16:25:23 UTC

Version:           1030904-1 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

I would like to be able to connect my to the Internet via wireless, and then configure my ethernet port to route an Internet connection to an attached device.

There doesn't seem to be any easy way to do this in knetworkmanager.

There is a lack of explanation of the different IP Address "Configure" types, both in the application and on the net.  Manual and Automatic are mostly self-explanatory, but Link-Local and Shared are very ambiguous to me (I get the feeling one of these is supposed to allow connection bridging, but I don't know).

It's worth noting that Windows has had this feature since Windows XP. 

Any chance of at least confirming the bug?
