[Kde-hardware-devel] Do we want to drop support for "enterprise" devices in plasma-nm applet?

[Lamarque Souza]

Hi,

I am Ok with your both suggestions (dropping support for them from the
applet and keeping the support in the editor). I am also Ok if you prefer
to also drop the support from the editor. I, for one, have never used those
"enterprise" devices myself.
