[Kde-hardware-devel] Re: KDE network manager speed (icon idea?)

[Lamarque Vieira Souza]

	Hi,

	You must patch Solid 4.5.x (http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/3769/) and 
recompile both Solid and Plasma NM (distributions usuallly call its package 
knetworkmanager) to make the access technology (GSM, EDGE, UMTS, etc) and 
signal quality available. The "Unknown" speed problem has been fixed long ago, 
so I suppose you are using a very old Plasma NM release. Another alternative 
is using trunk or waiting for KDE SC 4.6.0 release later January next year.

	I like the idea of using colors in the systray icon :-) I will do a test 
but I am afraid that would not fit the monochromatic icons plasma panel uses 
nowadays. Well, the "wave icon" is for wifi connections, 3G connections should 
use another icon to make it clear the computer is connected through 3G and not 
wifi.
