So someone should tell the Ubuntu/Kubuntu developers that they should use wicd 
instead of Network Manager in future Ubuntu/Kubuntu versions. :-)  Hmm, better 
not, there is no Plasma support. They better should fix Network Manager. :-) 

It’s a rather serious thing for me that I have to use a network management 
tool that disturbs my nice KDE desktop. :-|  I might even prefer to use a 
command line tool. Surprisingly, wpa_supplicant does not work when I run it in 
the ordinary way. However, it seems to work (more or less) when controlled by 
Network Manager via D-BUS. Strange!

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
