I've just had a look at it. It didn't "just work" and I didn't try to
make it, but from what I've seen I gather that knetworkmanager is
useful for configuring connection profiles for multiple network
environments. That's fine for what it is, but right now actually the
least of my problems. I'm more interested in things such as proxy
servers and network filesystems, possibly firewall settings.
To make thinks more concrete. When I'm working on a project at home and
at a client site, I easily get network access by means of DHCP in both
places. But at home I need no proxies, rely on the firewall in my
router and there are no network filesystems I need to mount. When at
the client site, I have to configure proxy settings for KDE, Firefox,
Subversion (Subclipse), and I want my own local firewall.
