knetworkmanager manual configuration doesn't load

Asked by Spankin

I installed fresh new Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE4 (downloaded on 25th april), when I get knetworkmanager manual configuration, I give the password and nothing happens... therefore I can't connect to Internet, which is pretty annoying, everything else looks to be working fine, and every other application that needs sudo password works, i didn't have that on 7.10 and 8.04 RC with KDE 3.5.9 so my ethernet card is not a problem

I managed somehow to fix this problem on my own, at least for the time beeing.

At shell console:

ipconfig Your_IP_number netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw Your_gate_number
sudo nano -w /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver Your_DNS_server_1
nameserver Your_DNS_server_2
ctrl+q, Y, enter

now the configuration still shows 0 instead of actual data, and manual configuration works.. or not (depends on whatever), but finally, Internet works :)

same problem with knetworkmanager here in kde 4/kubuntu 8.10:
wired and wireless connections work fine only for automatically configured ip via dhcp
neither wired nor wireless work when ip is set manually...

p.s.
ifconfig eth0 address <ip> gateway <gw> netmask <mask> up
+ adding nameservers to resolv.conf
works fine as always %)) but that's not what someone calls "user-friendly" %))))
