It seems although in kde4.2 theres special place for vpn connections in network manager it doesnt know that hamachi is vpn connection and thinks of it as wired connection and as wired connections get preferred over wireless connecting hamachi means disconnecting from internet. Is there a way to make network manager understand its vpn or hide hamachi connection from network manager?

Re: Funny problem with network manager
A similar thing happened to me with VMware. The virtual network interfaces in vmware took precedence over everything so I had no internet connection.
I fixed it by doing this:
WORKAROUND:
Adding the following lines to your /etc/network/interfaces will fix the problem
auto vmnet1
iface vmnet1 inet manual
auto vmnet 8
iface vmnet8 inet manual
This might work for you, changing the "vmnet" to whatever your hamachi connection is named
for example you might add:
auto hamachi
iface hamachi inet manual
to your /etc/network/interfaces file
