Hi, I'm just guessing, but yesterday I had a problem with crucial packages, they remained un-configured because of splashy. If you have splashy my suggestion is to remove it, see this bug for more infos:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=523187
I have got all the kind of strange behaviors with wi-fi, battery and so on until I removed it.


My advise is not to use plasma-widget-networkmanagement since it is still in hard developing, come back to knetworkmanager or nm-applet.


Hope this helps


Valerio
