For those, who might would meet the same issue while playing with new
KDE4 packages.

I have just solved my problem - in short, the solution is to
completely remove networkmanager
plasmoid package (NetworkManager-kde4), which I have installed from
OpenSUSE factory repository.
The fact that I did not have this applet added to my desktop did not
make sense -
seems that plasma (or something else) still somehow did initialize it
and it locked
resources which knetworkmanager wanted to use.

For interest, there are more details in the discussion here:
