[Kde-hardware-devel] Review Request: Adds tab with Mobile Broadband info (depends on ModemManager)

[Lamarque Vieira Souza]

	Hi Sebas,

	I have never got the plasmoid to work here after KDE SC 4.2.x, so I am 
using the monolithic version since then. If you help me make it work here I 
can start making changes on it, as long as it does not involve using trunk 
kdelibs, I prefer to keep using kdelibs 4.4.3.

	When I enable the plasmoid here it does not react to any network 
interface (wired ethernet, wireless or 3G). As far as I remember there is no 
error message in .xsession-errors too.

	I would like to have the plasmoid working here to use the network traffic 
monitor you showed in your blog (http://vizzzion.org/blog/2010/05/blog-back-
online/). That is one of the things I miss in knm. For people who use 3G it is 
very important to count the traffic to know if they have reached their data 
limit. It would be great if the monitor could salve the traffic data to 
calculate the amount of data transferred during one month, like 
kppp/kppplogview do. One thing I miss in kppplogview is that it always starts 
couting at the first day of month, but the bill operator's cycle can start at 
any day of the month.

	I will try again to make the plasmoid work here. If I am successfull I 
will start to make my ModemManager changes on it.
