As mentioned I had hacked it. I did not really want to get back to the 
original (for me NetworkManager-kde-0.7r848570-23.2.1 as well) as I did not 
want to do without my wifi connection :)

This is the same for me. 

A very annoying thing for me is that the NetworkManager plasmoid/applet/thing 
when it is not able to use the definition of the network I gave it(and named 
using the SSID), then searches for a new wifi network, finds the one I defined 
above, and tries to help me access it (by putting in the appropriate WPA 
keys), which of course fails as it is exactly the same as the first network I 
set up.

:(

I think that I use very little of KDE3 anymore, but I have to use 
knetworkmanager!
