I was hoping for some tips or commands if possible for restarting my wifi network or something simalar.
The problem I have is it works automatically when I login to KDE ,but when I login to another desktop like OpenBox etc it is not working & I have tried to start it from KDE'S SystemSettings but no luck & I have tried some other commands as well.
I am going to try using a ToolBar or window panel like bmpanel to see if NetworkManager will be visible in the hope I can start it from that, but I think tried it before without it appearing on the panel.
Thanks AnyOne

How does KDE start your WiFi card? You may need to manage the card through a daemon such as wpa_supplicant and configure KDE to act as merely a GUI to render the results of that daemon.
