I have a dial-up connection for the internet which works perfectly well in GNOME using DSL settings in which i provide username, password, ip, gateway, netmask etc.

But in KDE i cannot do anything. After having provided the necessary information
i don't see any available connection of DSL in the system tray. I have provided tow screenshot to show what is happening.
enter image description here

the wired connection is shown. But for DSL there is no such thing that i could click on to start using the web.
enter image description here

you can see that there is a connection under the DSL tab but it is not available at the
tray.

is it this bug:Bug #447241 ??

It was reported in 2009. Now it is 2011. After several releases of kubuntu the bug should be fixed by now.

my question is how can i bring the DSL connection in the tray and solve the issue ?

/Please don't suggest to install other network management tool because to solve the issue of internet connection, i need an internet connection to install other package rendering me in a recursive loop.
And please don't suggest pppoeconf . It makes the wired connection unavailabe. If CLI works then why this GUI./

for a workaround, uninstall plasma-networkmanagement (I don't know if that is its exact name) and type in "autostart" in the KDE menu. once open, add a new startup item, with the command "nm-applet". Then log out and back in again. This will give you the GNOME NetworkManager. Rough, I know but it works. For some reason the KDE version seems to lag badly behind it's GNOME counterpart.

I assume you still have GNOME on there?
