** Description changed:

- Hello. 
+ Hello.
  I have a Ralink with RT2561/RT61 chip:
  $ lspci | grep -i network
  05:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
  
  In Kubuntu 15.04 my connection is very unstable using NetworkManager.
  Most of the time the connection is not established. And very few times
  the connection is established but after a few seconds the connection
- drops. But with Wicd my connection is stable. I installed Wicd from
- Kubuntu 14.04 using "chroot". Unfortunately in this new Kubuntu version
- if you try to uninstall "network-manager" then "plasma-desktop" is
- requested to be uninstalled (apparently because of "plasma-nm"). So I do
- the following to use Wicd:
+ drops. Unfortunately in this new Kubuntu version if you try to uninstall
+ "network-manager" then "plasma-desktop" is requested to be uninstalled
+ (apparently because of "plasma-nm").
  
+ WORKAROUND: I installed Wicd from Kubuntu 14.04 using "chroot":
  1- Start the system and try not use Network Manager
  2- kill network manager
  $ sudo pkill -9 NetworkManager
  3- Start wicd from "menu" > "internet"
- 
- And I can connect to WiFi and the connection is stable.
- 
- By the way, it's a bad thing that you can not uninstall network-manager
- to use another manager in Kubuntu. So, at least there should be an
- option from the systemsettings to can choose the default network
- manager.
