Does Kubuntu use the same network manage as Ubuntu?

Just curious are they the same thing or completely different?

Frontends

> Package: network-manager-kde

KDE systray applet for controlling NetworkManager

systray applet for controlling network connections managed by NetworkManager. It is mainly written for KDE but also works for other desktop environments like GNOME or Xfce. .

> Package: network-manager-gnome

This package contains a systray applet for GNOME's notification area but it also works for other desktop environments which provide a systray like KDE or XFCE.

Backend

> Package: network-manager

network management framework daemon

NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all times. It is intended only for the desktop use-case, and is not intended for usage on servers. The point of NetworkManager is to make networking configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible. If using DHCP, NetworkManager is _intended_ to replace default routes, obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server, and change nameservers whenever it sees fit.

This package provides the userspace daemons.


recommends:

network-manager-gnome
network management framework (GNOME frontend)
or network-manager-kde
KDE systray applet for controlling NetworkManager
