Thanks for everyone for comments ;)

@ Dario Freddi
Pardus is using Comar for three years for network operations and Comar’s Network Backend has great features and its pretty more than the Gnome’s NetworkManager backend. By the way, I can use Gnome’s NetworkManager and also Solid & KDE solution in Pardus but as you know the development decisions of Gnome’s NetworkManager is up to Ubuntu or another power behind the Gnome :) So, for a from scratch distribution view, Pardus can not wait one for a needs in Network backend. You could say; you can fork and walk in your way, but this time there is another problem appears; programming languages: we are widely use python in almost all of our applications and we are very happy with it :) It is very easy to add a new feature to Comar’s network backend.
Network Manager in Pardus uses Solid for notifying the desktop for network status but not more than; I actually I like Will Stephenson comment about this situation: http://tinyurl.com/dh8r8z
If you want we can discuss it in pardus-devel, because it is very hard write something in this little box :)

Pardus NM and KDE’s one are different but I hope we can merge something with upstream ;)

Cool It looks much better then the current network manager plasmoid. Pardus 2009 will be my new distro as soon as it’s out.

Will pardus changes be merged with “upstram” network-management plasmoid?

Not to bring your work down, that is surely great, but why didn’t you simply make a Solid backend for Comar (something I strongly suggest you to do, in any case) and helped us in abstracting KDE’s NetworkManagement Plasmoid? It would have really helped you in not maintaining yet another tool, and I still hope you’ll consider the possibility of using NetworkManagement in the future :)

P.S.: I am still waiting for someone to answer my mail about GSoC on pardus-dev

Holy shit!! That’s one hell of a powertool :-)

And still it looks really simple to handle… great job .. I’m not yet familiar with Pardus (just by name) but any chance to get this also upstream? (e.g. into extragear?)

I’ll definately give pardus a try :-)
