Network manager connects late

[linuxforall]

Hi everyone,

Long time gnome user have just switched to Kubuntu and liking it quite a lot, I have a question regarding network manager, is there anyway of connecting it earlier as it happens in Ubuntu, I have static IP and am behind a router. The delay makes the plasmas widgets like weather applet time out by the time network manager connects to the net.

If you have a static ip setup, you should be able to remove network manager completely and just configure your network using /etc/network/interfaces. Search this list for Detonates excellent howto
