Thanks, Dominique. That's good to know. Do you happen to use Network Manager?
I started using it for the first time on my new laptop running debian testing
and kde 4.14.2, and it has been working really well. For years I had been
configuring my wireless settings in /etc/network/interfaces. Network Manager
makes things much easier. I'm hoping it would still work if I upgrade to
Plasma 5.
