Well, yes, this is a known bug with the kubuntu network manager, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net...
bugs number 396179, 378145, 392593, 348275, etc.
There are something like 40 network related bugs open currently, of
which most seem to be duplicates AFAICT. So if any of our many
unbuntu-ch members have spare time (one hour a week maybe?), bug
triaging is a very welcome and easy to do task, no need to be a
developer :)

FWIW, this is not a KDE bug, but a Kubuntu related one. Using the
network-manager from Gnome or using the wicd [1] package instead of
the network-manager-kde is an easy workaround.

That bug is partly solved in Kubuntu's KDE 4.2.95 aka RC2 (available
in the backports-PPA, see also [2]), and should be solved in Karmic
Koala.


Regards, Myriam.
