NM09 branch

[Raymond Wooninck]

Hi Lamarque,

The question is more that if you see a network connection in the plasmoid 
(which is set not to connect automatically), can you activate that connection 
by clicking on it in the plasmoid ?? 

The latest snapshot shows me that I can create a new connection based on 
detected networks, however if I do not set that connection to automatically 
connect, then I have no opportunity to activate it. 

I have in the office the situation that we have a wired and wireless 
connection. Normally the wired is used and only if we want to move around we 
are utilizing the wireless. So I have a connection defined that does not 
connect automatically. It shows in the recognized connections in the plasmoid, 
but I can click and click and click, but no result and definitely no 
connectivity. 

I have recreated this connection today with the latest snapshot, I also 
created the connection with the NM-Applet (gnome), but both give exactly the 
same result. Connections somehow can not be activated nor deactivated through 
the plasmoid !!
