So it will be

Plasmoid --> Plasma engine -> Solid --> NetworkManager ?

Very nice indeed. You'll get like a thousand places to feed the bugs.
Happy hunting.

4 <<< "a thousand".

Also, most of these places are very thin wrappers and unlikely to introduce many bugs - NetworkManager will do the "heavy-lifting".

But you'll have less bugs since you have less duplicated code and more of that well-tested. It's also easy to use networky features on other platforms without rewriting your plasmoid. Using networkmanager is right now the backend for 'networky' stuff used on Linux, though the plasmoid doesn't need to care about that, thanks to Solid. With solidshell, it's easy to find out where it's going wrong.

Of course no one keeps you from just porting knetworkmanager, if that works better for you.

Sure, if your wifi chipset cannot connect to WPA network you'll have to hunt the bug in Plasma, sure.
Be realistic, troll.
