	Ok, I will take a look at 0.2 source code. I am looking at 
knetworkmanager code now and it there are other little things that I think can 
be done too. For instance, there is no route information available in the 
tooltip, it always returns "No route data available", only for KDE 4.2.95 it 
tries to get the information. I removed the #if KDE_IS_VERSION(4, 2, 95) but 
it still returns a empty route list, I would like to change that too since it 
seems an easy thing to do (I may be wrong :-)).

	During this weekend I found that ModemManager already have a 
GetSignalQuality method, I would like to add this information to the tooltip 
too. Do you know where I need to change to add it?
